Symphony No. 1 in C major, op. 21 - by Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No. 1 in C major, op. 21 by Ludwig van Beethoven
Performed Sunday, May 5th, 2024 | First United Methodist Church
Conductor: Thomas Wilson
Audio/Video: Michael Lascuola
Program Notes: Allison Gioscia
When Ludwig van Beethoven began composing his Symphony No. 1 in 1799, he was 30 years old; he had already studied with Haydn, likely had met Mozart, and was enjoying an established reputation in Vienna as a pianist, improviser, and composer of chamber music. As the calendar turned to a new century, Beethoven turned his attention to the symphonic form, completing his first symphony in early 1800. The Classical-era symphonies of Haydn and Mozart followed a predictable formula that audiences of the time had come to recognize and expect, and Beethoven’s first symphony pays homage to the conventions of his predecessors - but not without the twists and subversions that are the hallmarks of this moody voice that would come to define the Romantic style.
As was the Classical-era convention for symphonies in major keys, the bright first movement of this C Major symphony begins with a slow introduction. But where earlier symphonies would have used this introduction to establish the tonality clearly, Beethoven uses it to obscure the key, opening with a dissonance that does not resolve to C Major until the fast section begins. From the very beginning of the piece, Beethoven features the winds much more prominently than in the symphonies of his predecessors, leading some contemporary reviewers to criticize his work as “band music” for its emphasis on the “Harmonie” (the wind section of the orchestra).
The slower second movement is titled “Andante,” as Classical-era audiences would have expected. But Beethoven indicates a brighter tempo “with motion” and writes triplet rhythms, giving the movement a minuet feel. Meanwhile, the third movement “Menuetto” is really a scherzo! Beethoven indicates a tempo for this movement that would be entirely too fast for dancing a minuet, his accents obscure the dance rhythms, and the uneven phrase lengths would have disrupted the steps.
Arriving at the fourth movement, Classical-era audiences would have been prepared for the tempo to fly, but Beethoven surprises again with a slow introduction. After a humorous false start, the movement proceeds to the end in the expected sonata form.

Amaze-ballz!
I've heard the Widor many, many times as organ solo. However, this is the first time I've heard with the orchestra as well. I must say I am simply awestruck. ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!
Metal chairs???
Nicely done ✅ and every time I hear I get my personal time travel, grown up with this piece of music as my father was organist and played it frequently.
too fast
Too fast for you!, not for Widor!!!
@@MrSnoid-sj7fd too fast overall. get a life, loser
Widor está sonando ahora en la playa de levante, en Benidorm
Bruckner de Francia
Incredible.
The Toccata definitely sounds better without Orchestra...
i love it
gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Oh my god! Without orchestra is much better. It´s like carnival.....
Magical. Love the bells
Great! Such a different, fresh... About Easter & spring.
Way too loud…..everyone involved will probably be deaf in old age…..silly blighters 😂
Amazing. I have loved this song since I was a young boy in the 1950’s when the organist in our church would play this as the postlude on Palm Sunday, the prelude on Holy Thursday, and the postlude on Easter Sunday.
Had to chuckle when you called it a song! A song (nearly always) has words and is sung by a person or people! (Some composers wrote songs without words but that's another story!) I've played 'the Widor' at 79 weddings! I wonder how many notes that adds up to!
Good point! Guess a song does need lyrics. I’m guessing that you are a pretty accomplished organist to be able to play this. Not an easy thing. Congratulations!
@@user-tv8mg2vh5f Thanks! I've been playing it since I was 13. Actually, it isn't all that difficult. The right hand plays a lot of notes and can ache after 5 minutes but it's fair to say that the instrument does most of the work! I once played it on an organ which Widor played - that was a wonderful day!
Spectacular all right. And after all those transcriptions of orchestral works for organ, why not have one the other way round? Variety is good. Very clever to have the organ solo at the start, so the orchestra coming in was something of a shock.
This is my first time to hear this piece played for organ and orchestra and am totally blown away. Goosebump performance. Thanks for posting.
A bit to fast to my liking
Congratulations, Thomas Wilson. It's an amazing orchestration. Chapeau! Really impressed!
Wonderful
The orchestra is wasted here. The original is sufficiently orchestral.
Some parts of this work, but some REALLY DON'T. (shudder)
this is lovely arranging!!!
Amazing Just Amazing Pulls on my Hart, Brings to Mind old memories, like a child on a merry-go-round. Reminds my of my Daughter Adrianna She loves all the Mid-way rides Rest in heavenly peace my sweetest Daughter
Ending of mom’s funeral. Had goose bumps that she chose this for farewell and made me smile with goose bumps. Greatest pianist/organist Madison Wi age103
She had great taste 💜
Abrazos desde España!
Sorry, but I prefer the organ only version. :(
Good effort and fun.
Ruined! Let the organ do its work.
Quand j'entends cette magnifique interprétation, je me sens fier d'être français et je me dis que la France est l'une des nations les plus contributrices à la civilisation !
Moi aussi ❤
Danke. Ausgezeichnete Darbietung.
Stunningly, excitingly beautiful! Bravo!
totally destroyed, the whole church organ and it's incredible sound, alone, unaccompanied, whoever decided to do this was 'wrong.'
A magnificent concertina on a well-known theme! Just a holiday! I had a lot of fun! I want to listen more!
Always enjoyed this piece, great with orchestra.😊
A lovely, beautiful, and very, very well done rendition of this great classical French masterpiece. The balance of the orchestra with the organ is superb and the blending is flawless. The conducting is also first class. This is why I love classical music.
So much powerfull when you sat AT thé organ and play it , strange feeling of " power" with thé bass pédals...wonderfull rendition with thé hammering bells
Absolutely BRILLIANT!
Wonderful bells
BRAVA!!!!!! This gives me chills!!!! This has become my HAPPY SON!!!!
Known it since last century ,but this one with orchestra brought me chills and tears ,wonderfull people ...great music ...
Too many people playing just one piece. That is human resource waste.
Rational, but where is the poetry in that?
0:35
An organ and orchestra. A formidable musical accomplishment! Bravo! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Щиро дякую❤.
Fantastic!!!
AMAZING!
Das einzige, was mich stört, ist die amerikanische Flagge. Was kann Widor dafür?
This is really fantastic and sounds like it was originally written as a concerto piece. Makes perfect sense!
Cette versión ne me fait pas autantnmal aux tripes que la versión originale pour orgue seule que je préfere largement
Crazy this amazing Dame was new to me until recently! :) She should be much more famous. Amazing work! interesting writing as well, here on this YT upload. Thanks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_Smyth #OdedFriedGaon #OdedMusic #OdedWeekendPlaylist #OdedLengthySonicMasterpieces #Audioded
