Towards the end of his life, Beethoven studied earlier contrapuntal music and incorporated it in his later works. He was also an admirer of Handel hence it reminding you of Handel.
Beethoven thought Haendel the best composer of all times. This composition is an hommage to Haendel, but Beethoven is Beethoven: hi is the best. Listen to from 3:10 and we hear a wonderful music. We mustn't forget this piece was composed after Missa solemnis and after the shoking Sonata op. 106.
@@beachcomber4141 Yes I have understood you reasons and there is something of Fireworks of Haendel like a memory, a tribute. There is Haydn also in this piece, but Beethoven is capable of going further through his unexpected and brilliant developments.
@James Karkas Beethoven was fond of.. Luigi Cherubini..considered him his brother in the art ..he had a music box..with the sound of the overture to the.. incredible Medea opera...the pinnacle of all drama's ...
In this overture Beethoven gave honour to Handel, but around the same time he was also working on an overture on the notes B-A-C-H, celebrating that admired composer also! On the basis of these sketches I wrote an overture trying to catch the spirit of these sketches: th-cam.com/video/2jF1CNsXj7c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3AfsoyGgGudqTFQu , which may be interesting to you also ... those sketches I marked with yellow colour...
Not agreed. Maybe the VPO and their famous "locked in" sound was always unable to stretch to the music. Nice to live only in your own (self-proscribed) world. But not Abbado.

It is beyond my comprehension that a mere human can create this!!The word awesome is an understatement !!

Nice! One of the best melodies of Beethoven in this piece!
A very beautiful and ever-reminding piece of music. You can imagine yourself in the space provided by it.
Fun fact! _Five bassoonists died in the making of this recording._
But it was so worth it.
😂
Thanks for all these Beethoven's videos !
@2:38 to 2:51 there is a moment from choral fantasy
This work reminds me a lot of Handel
Listen to The Royal Fireworks music, you can hear a clear connection.
So glad I found this
Bravo bravo bravo bravo
Many thanks! Infinite gratitude!
The Allegro theme is subjected to ingenious and unexpected elaborations that no composer would have been able to do.
I agree, but no "other" composer.
👍
THIS!!!!!!!! The Handel influence..........not to mention Mozart, and then BEETHOVEN

@@mirrors1 Was listening to The Royal Fireworks music by Handel the other night and it so made me think of this, especially when it lifts off!

I wished he lived longer...nobody can make such music anymore

Poor bassoon :(.
Sam Lijmers What a brutal part!
@@lyrianmusic I agree! I'm horrified by the length and speed of the bassoon part! Beethoven could be brutal.
im playing this and im dying
@@d1ego647 lol

2:24 The part you're looking for
Estasiante!!!
Oh, it was Abbado. It sounded so good!

Beethoven meant to be Handelalian quite successfully...Love the trombone parts...
Nice
ファゴットイジメだ
Beethoven sterilized by Abbado

@@sfbirdclub in my humble opinion Abbado can do no wrong
? Who interpreted this with greater abandon?
