Eroica / 5. Sinfoniekonzert by Weir, Beethoven, ti 05 maalis 2024, Alkaen (2024/2024), Musiikinjohto Domonkos Héja, Kongress am Park, Augsburg, Germany

Beethoven actually wanted to dedicate his 3rd symphony to Napoleon. But when he crowned himself emperor, the composer allegedly deleted the dedication in a rage. He titled his work "Eroica - Heroic Symphony Composed to Celebrate the Memory of a Great Man". In his choral fantasy, however, he celebrated the heroic in artistic thought, while Judith Weir defines "heroic" as a principle of physical power.
