It was first published by Birchall in London in January of 1816. The Viennese edition by Steiner was first published in the following month. <br /> <br /> "Beethoven's 'Battle Symphony' more correctly entitled Wellington's Victory of the Battle of Victoria op. 91 came into being as the result of an idea by Maelzel that Beethoven should write a work for his latest invention the panharmonicon a sort of mechanical orchestra. The timing coincided with Wellington's defeat of Napoleon in 1813. . It is a programmatic piece for a large orchestra with a battery of military and Turkish percussion instruments including cannons and muskets. The first section opens with an English bugle call followed by the patriotic tune Rule Britannia answered by a French bugle call and marching tune known in Britain as For he's a jolly good fellow. Then comes a depiction of the battle. Part 2 called 'Victory Symphony' begins and ends with martial music but is otherwise based largely on the British national anthem which is treated fugally."

First published by Breitkopf & Härtel in November of 1810. <br /> <br /> "Beethoven's early achievements as composer and performer show him to be extending the Viennese Classical tradition that he had inherited from Mozart and Haydn. As personal affliction - deafness and the inability to enter into happy personal relationships - loomed larger he began to compose in an increasingly individual musical style and at the end of his life he wrote his most sublime and profound works."

Weinhold-Dorfmüller p. 225 and plate 8b. Hoboken 2 120. Hirsch IV 361. The first issue is distinguished by the printed "Musikalische Anzeige" to the recto of the first leaf of music.<br /> <br /> "Op. 101 is among the most difficult of the sonatas and Beethoven himself once described it as 'hard to play'. The challenge of this work lies not only in the complex polyphony of the march and finale but in the delicate narrative sequence of the whole. Twice we pass from spheres of dream-like reflection into the vigorous musical landscapes of the march and finale. . Few of Beethoven's pieces exerted such a strong spell on the Romantic composers as this A major Sonata. Mendelssohn imitated it in his op. 6 Sonata; Wagner found in its opening movement the ideal of his 'infinite melody;' Schumann was captivated by its march-like second movement. Along with the cello sonatas op. 102 and the song cycle An die ferne Geliebte the A major Sonata marks a major transition in Beethoven's style pointing unmistakably to the unique synthesis achieved in words of his last decade." Kinderman: Beethoven p. 197.<br /> <br /> ". spiritually Op. 27 and Op. 101 are as far apart as they are in years. In the later work all is expression nothing mere display or technical contrivance. There are difficulties demanding brilliant playing to be sure and the writing has the ingenuity of the completely self-possessed master; but it is due precisely to this self-possession that Beethoven is now able to concentrate his whole creative mind on emotional expression in the most poetical terms of which music is capable. The means by which this is attained through manipulation of the composer's craft and put into logical shape by his instinctive knowledge of how to handle and adjust form came to him quite naturally by this time provided that he was seized by the fever of irresistible inspiration as in this glorious work."

First Edition second issue corrected with music newly engraved and without the plate number to page 9. LvBWV I p. 572. Hirsch IV 342 incorrectly describing the present issue as the first. Hoboken 2 386. Weinhold-Dörfmuller p. 223. <br /> <br /> "In dedicating this sonata to Count Lichnowsky Beethoven rallied that nobleman on the occasion of his engagement. Qualms were alleged to be represented in the vehemently pathetic first movement. It was with no intention of throwing light on that movement that Beethoven called it 'a contest between head and heart.' . The whole point of the sonata lies in the contrast between a movement full of passionate and lonely energy and a movement devoted to the utmost luxuriance of lyric melodies developed in Rondo form."
