A monument of Western culture, Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C Minor may be the single best-known and recognized piece of classical music ever written. When Beethoven commenced work on his fifth symphony in 1806, his hearing loss was acute. The meaning of the fascinating four-note motive contained in this symphony has been widely debated, but this four-movement work may very well be testament to the composer's struggle and ultimate triumph over fate and adversity. The symphony continues today to reveal its timeless appeal, some two hundred years after its Vienna premiere.
