How many symphonies did Ludwig van Beethoven write and when was his last one first performed?
9
How old was Beethoven when he wrote his first symphony?
Every composer that has choosen to write three or more symphonies has composed a Symphony No. 3. A short list of composers who have written a Symphony No. 3 include: Beethoven - 9 Symphonies Mozart - 41 Symphonies Haydn - 104 Symphonies
Was most of Beethoven's late works symphonies?
Beethoven composed his first symphony at age 30. You will find heavy references to Mozart and Haydn (Wiener Klassik), particularily when listening to instrumentation and overall setting of the themes. In later compositions you will find that Beethoven varies the stricly tectonic structure and also uses different instrumentation (i.e. choir).
How does the symphony represent revolution?
By breaking a lot of rules to say what the composer wants it to say. And Beethoven was the poster boy for that concept. Hence, his symphonies were "revolutionary". Beethoven's first two symphonies - and they raised a few eyebrows - were nonetheless, essentially revisiting Haydn and Mozart. But Beethoven's Third Symphony grabbed music by the lapels and jerked it into the nineteenth century.
Which musical characteristic of Beethoven's symphonies is the most moving to the listener?
You would have a choice of rhythmic drive which does impress listeners. Motivic unity also impresses the listener. There is a lot of psychological progression in all Beethoven's works and I believe that it is the most moving. The rhymic drive is heard first in his symphonies, the motivic unity is by the end of the opening movements and the psychological progression comes after all the symphony's movements have been experienced.

What did Beethoven do differently when he composed his symphonies?
Bethoven was inspired by the beauty Beethoven saw in nature or the love he felt for a woman.What Beethoven actually did differently was to be a pioneer of expression in music. As a volatile and passionate man, Beethoven introduced emotion into his works, extending the previous abilities of musicians and the range of their instruments.
What opera did Ludwig van Beethoven wrote?
No. Beethoven's one opera, "Fidelio" was first composed when he was in his early thirties, and premiered when he was 35. It (and its overture) went through a number of revisions before the version we now know.
How many works did Beethoven compose?
Beethoven composed only the one opera, probably because he lacked great talent in that area of music. He could not live up to the high standards that Mozart had set him only a few years before. His opera was first named 'Leonore' in 1804 and features a heroine who is trying to rescue her condemned lover from prisoner. The opera failed its first performance on the 20th of November, 1805. Beethoven edited it and the new version was performed on the 29th of March, 1806. It was withdrawn again, but this time by Beethoven himself due to a misunderstanding about payments and receipts with the theatre manager. Years later in 1814 Beethoven revived 'Leonore' once again except this time with a new libretto and new overture. He renamed it 'Fidelio' and it was performed on the 26th of November in front of congressmen. Finally it was a success and nowadays it is a very popular opera, having gone through many variations. It had had four different overtures!
Why is Beethoven credited with starting the modern orchestra?
Beethoven was the first composer to introduce the piccolo flute, trombones and double bassoon to the concert orchestra. His 5th symphony in C minor (Op 67) is the first ever symphonic composition to use these instruments. Following him, Wagner and Berlioz made the orchestra even larger which influenced Mahler to write his massive symphonies for a gigantic orchestra.
How many songs did Beethoven compose?
For the purposes of this question, the answer will refer to just Beethoven's songs, not his instrumental compositions as well.Beethoven wrote around 80 songs, actually known as "lieder", with piano. These were sensitive pieces, highlighting his truly emotional side. In many ways, some of these songs are seen as almost autobiographical, telling of similar events in Beethoven's own life.He was also known for writing around the same number of Volkslieder, or folk songs.
Who wrote 9 symphonies?
Beethoven wrote many symphonies, including Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 "Choral," which was his final symphony. However, many famous composers have written a 'ninth symphony' of some description, therefore your question is entirely too vague.
