In the video it says “only good guys would use this symphony in battle.” In this particular piece Beethoven looks to show emotion. All of his symphonies are very emotional. Beethoven lost his hearing and tried to commit suicide. This symphony represented Beethoven wrestling with his darkest thoughts. The beginning of Beethoven’s fifth symphony reminds me of Halloween

Introduction With a strong preference for Classical music styles‚ I chose Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2‚ more specifically the first movement Adagio molto of the symphony‚ from the Internet sources to listen to.

Erin R Eddins Mozart Symphonies 39‚ 40‚ 41 Performed by The Berlin Philharmonic‚ conducted by Sir Simon Rattle My first impressions of the conductor held fairly true throughout the performance. Sir Simon Rattle is perhaps the most enigmatic master of the baton I have had the pleasure of watching. This is quite an interesting observation‚ since he doesn’t use a baton. He stands in front of his orchestra‚ sans instrument himself‚ without even a podium or stand‚ and conducts using gestures‚ hand movements
