Beethoven - Egmont Overture [ANALYSIS]

All the power of Goethe's play in Beethoven incidental music to Egmont.
The story is actually a historical fact, inspired by the Dutch Count of Egmont standing up against the Spanish oppressors.
Conducting-wise the trickiest part of the Egmont Overture is certainly the transition to the Allegro.

Thank you!

[@detectivehome3318]

I can just never get enough of that fanfare at the end

[@ggriglio]

Eheh it's very powerful indeed

[@katrinat.3032]

Yes one the greatest ending in classical music

[@OmarTravelAdventures]

Maestro, do you think that the woodwinds at 3:02 with the Saraband rhythm underlying them are a representation of Clara {Egmont's beloved)? I am always touched by that theme...Is it also correct that this theme enters on the major and quickly turns minor, giving the listner a bit of hope then quickly turning it into dispair?

[@ggriglio]

It could very well be. It's the wonderful thing about music: after two centuries it's still open for interpretation 🙂
