Description
Beethoven wrote a symphony which the musicologists believe is not so important. Wellington's Victory, or, the Battle of Vitoria (Wellingtons Sieg oder die Schlacht bei Vittoria), Op. 91, is a minor 15-minute-long orchestral work composed by Ludwig van Beethoven to commemorate the Duke of Wellington's victory over Joseph Bonaparte at the Battle of Vitoria in Spain on 21 June 1813. It is known sometimes as "The Battle Symphony" or "The Battle of Vitoria", and was dedicated to the Prince Regent, later King George IV. Composition stretched from August to first week of October 1813, and the piece proved to be a substantial moneymaker for Beethoven. In this age of political, cultural, social, economic, power and political contrasts, we thought that Beethoven's view on battles of opposing forces will find a voice. We include Beethoven's work 'The Consecration of the House' to create a feeling of unity and close the period of dissention. We conclude this playlist with Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 26 (Les Adieux / The Farewell) in E♭ Major Op. 81a which ends with the heartwarming movement 'Le Retour' to celebrate the return from a risky journey.
