Get an Original EssayContextAt the time Beethoven wrote this symphony, he was facing the threat of deafness and a life-and-death test. Due to his deafness, his health and finances were poor, so much so that he even borrowed money from friends. Beethoven was forced to stop the creation halfway due to financial difficulties, so the completion of the 'Destiny' symphony is relatively long. Until 1808 Beethoven completed the Symphony of Destiny, enduring physical and mental pain. This symphony once again reflects Beethoven's creative talent and extraordinary power; he devoted a lot of effort to complete this work, so the "Destiny" symphony is also one of Beethoven's proudest works. General Description The first movement of "Destiny" is in C minor, sonata form and Allegro con brio. The opening theme of the music is titled 'As Fate Knocks at the Door' by Beethoven. It's dark, cold and dignified, playing with the muscular strength of strings and clarinet. Thus, the theme appears in each part with faint intensity, as if it were the subsequent sound of an eruption, as if the catastrophe spread everywhere. As the power builds, the destiny theme reappears in the roar of the orchestra and surges forward with a slight variation. It started out a little panicky but gradually came to life, trying to dominate. Suddenly two strong chords interrupt him. After the momentary silence, a loud horn sounded in the horn section. Immediately the second theme of lyricism is presented, which is the representation of the composer's heart. In this quiet and warm music, Beethoven expresses his desire for peace. At this moment, the theme of destiny, hidden in the whisper, becomes more and more stubborn and determined, waiting for the opportunity to reoccupy the earth, but a determined and robust melody drowns it out with irresistible momentum. The struggle of fate can still be heard at the end of this music. The 2nd Movement of Destino is modulated in Ab Major—the subdominant key of the relative key of C minor (Eb Major), double variation form and Andante con moto. Wild destiny appeared, at last, brooding and restless in every tone, seeking its opportunity, peering into the void, to intrude upon life and dominate it all. Then a clarinet sounded, calling the men to fight. Gradually, the strength of the music weakened, and the voice areas switched frequently. The tone was low and unstable, as if he was doubting and wavering in the fight. Suddenly, the theme of destiny intrudes again with ferocity. He shouts roughly and enters the third movement at the climax of the explosion. The third movement of "Destino" dates back to C minor, ternary form - composed of a joke and a trio, and Scherzo: Allegro. Returns to the first movement but slightly modified. The theme of destiny still spreads, sometimes with restlessness, sometimes with impatience. Suddenly the oboe played a slow, melancholy note. He stopped his pace and his tone seemed like a lament for a destinyunhappy. Then the theme of destiny passed and the attempt to dominate became stronger. When the second theme was played, the haze temporarily disappeared. However, destiny would not rest until a determined and robust melody engulfed it. At the end of the movement, the struggle between people and fate becomes more intense. At the beginning, the theme of destiny stands proudly with great force and sound. Then he plays the clarinet, which together with the growing sound of the violin forms a force to ward off bad luck. After several quarrels, the person still could not get rid of the cruel fate, the music in the fate of the spirit theme of the end of this movement. The fourth movement of 'Destino' retains in C minor, an unusual variant of the sonata form — the music stopped on the dominant cadence at the end of the development, and Allegro. The large ensemble is also the core of the entire symphony. After the arduous struggle, people rely on the indomitable willpower and fighting spirit, never give up in the face of difficulties and setbacks, the final will usher in an exciting moment of victory. The last chapter, as the concluding part of the whole music, must pay attention to understanding the rhythm, showing the majestic momentum, and using the ensemble of various musical instruments to show the beautiful future after the wind and rain in front of the people, in so as to achieve the effect of echo from head to tail and bring people the shock of the soul.'Like fate knocks on the door.'The first movement is the eve of the fight against fate. It begins with a short phrase of three short notes and a long one of four notes, that is, the knock on the door of destiny. This motif is simple, but contains excellent momentum and great suspense. As the music began, the strings and clarinet played a rhythm that symbolized the percussion sound of destiny, which shocked the entire space. This exact tune declared that "destiny is knocking at the door." His mood is cold, dark and menacing, showing the cruelty and ferocity of the dark forces. After this motivation, the strings repeatedly play the first theme, which is modified by the motivation in different sound areas. It sounded like a stern warning and the music was full of tragic and passionate fighting enthusiasm. When the rapid sound was stopped by the entire band, the feeling of panic and anxiety intensified. The harsh sound of "doom" rang out in the camp, which was frightening and disturbing, indicating the disaster of the oppressed people. Then the horn sounded a steady, clear melody. The emotion calmed down, leading to the secondary theme, lyrical and mild, along with the mild timbre of the horn itself, thus arousing people's desire for light and happiness. Then the sobs of the oboe and the sound of the entire string, deep and swirling, are incredibly restrained. Even faint syllables are handled reliably and touchingly like feathers floating in the air and falling softly to the ground or onto our bodies. Then the threads, colored like flowers, scented, let us smell them. Like stars, bright, let our eyes and hearts light up together. This is followed by a second theme full of lyrical, pure and rich feelings, played slowly, when the violin, clarinet and flute play the melody, the cello and bass occasionally play a figure of "destiny", the theme of l 'herald the fight continues to expand, the character of the hero in the development of music rapidly towards a bright, resolute and optimistic atmosphere. The entire movement advances with a sense of turbulence. The first four notes were so powerful and frightening that almost everyone who heard them could never forget them. The classic passage full of power, so short and yet so, 1972.
