Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony #3 in E flat, Op. 55 (“Eroica”).
Beethoven composed his third symphony from 1803 to 1804 when the world was transitioning from mostly rural country living into the industrial age. As a leading artist of the time, Beethoven and other artists were concerned that the embrace of nature would be obscured by the urban lifestyle. Musically it manifested into a change from classical to romantic music evoking and encouraging an emotional connection to nature and freedom. The impressive work is considered the first symphony written in the romantic style and brings both bold and lyrically expressive qualities to the audience.
