Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Opus 67 by Ludwig van Beethoven
"Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Opus 67" by Ludwig van Beethoven is a symphony composed between 1804 and 1808. Opening with one of music's most recognizable motifs—a distinctive four-note "short-short-short-long" pattern often described as "fate knocking at the door"—this work has become a cornerstone of Western classical music. Written during Beethoven's increasing deafness and the turbulent Napoleonic era, the symphony premiered in Vienna in 1808 to a mixed reception, but soon
achieved legendary status through its dramatic power and emotional depth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
