The First Two Chords from Eroica, Again and Again and Again

By , March 4, 2012 8:05 pm

Found this at Ann Althouse’s. Thought I’d preserve it on my site. My introduction to Eroica came in Rio de Janeiro, when James Thatcher–then a missionary with me, now a studio musician in LA–helped me pick out some good classical music to listen to. Eroica was his first selection for me.

Update: For those unfamiliar with Eroica, here’s the entire first movement, first two chords and all.

Update #2: By the way, I could put all I know about classical music in a small thimble, and there would still be enough room for a big couch.

    A bit of music trivia to give you some cred. The capacity of a music CD was decided by the length of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. Those in charge decreed that CD’s must be long so that the 9th could be played without interruption. That, and $2.00 should allow you to get hot chocolate almost anywhere.
