"7 April 1805 in Vienna. There is significant evidence that the ""Eroica"", perhaps unlike Beethoven's other symphonies, was constructed back-to-front. The theme used in the fourth movement, including its bass line, originate from the seventh of Beethoven's 12 Contredanses for Orchestra, WoO 14, and also from the Finale to his ballet The Creatures of Prometheus, Op. 43, both of which were composed in the winter of 1800–1801. The next year, Beethoven used the same theme as the basis for his Variations and Fugue for Piano in E♭ Major, Op. 35, now commonly known as the ""Eroica"" Variations due to the"

This is one of his last symphonies and is in the standard 4-movement symphonic scheme of the time: This symphony, like many others by Stamitz, influenced Joseph Haydn and Mozart. It is approximately fifteen minutes in length, and demonstrates Stamitz's late symphonic style.

E♭ (musical note) E (E-flat) or mi bémol is the fourth semitone of the solfège. It lies a diatonic semitone above D and a chromatic semitone below E, thus being enharmonic to D (D-sharp) or ""re dièse"". In equal temperament it is also enharmonic with F. However, in some temperaments, D is not the same as E. E is a perfect fourth above B, whereas D is a major third above B. When calculated in equal temperament"
"Piano Concerto No. 3 (Tchaikovsky) Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. posth. 75, was originally begun as a Symphony in E-flat. The composer ultimately abandoned this symphony, but, in 1893, started to rework it into a piano concerto, before abandoning all but the first movement, which he completed as a concert piece for piano and orchestra. It was published posthumously, in 1894, as a single-movement ""Allegro Brillante"". The Symphony No. 6 ""Pathétique"" was the last of Tchaikovsky's compositions to be performed in his lifetime, but the ""Allegro Brillante"", now known as the Piano Concerto No."
"The first and third movements center on E-flat, G-flat, and A-flat major, while the second movement is in C-sharp minor, the enharmonic dominant of G-flat. In addition, both the second and third movements contain allusions to thematic material from the first movement to foster a sense of symphonic unity. Dvořák submitted this symphony along with his fourth symphony (completed in the early months of 1874) in an application for a state scholarship, which he was granted. Despite its unusual structure and Wagnerian influences, the symphony captured Dvořák the attention of German composer Johannes Brahms, who was notorious for his musical"

Anton Schindler recalled that Beethoven would play the E-minor section furiously, before pausing at length on the E-major chord and giving a calmer account of the Maggiore. The third movement is in a lively sonata rondo form. On its final return, the main theme is syncopated against triplets. Not withstanding its seeming simplicity, this sonata introduces the ""Sturm und Drang"" character that became so commonly identified with Beethoven. He adds drama both in the contrast between the lyrical passages that follow very active, textured thematic sections. Furthermore, the contrasting dynamics and variation between major and"

Edvard Grieg composed the second movement of his Piano Concerto in D-flat. Frédéric Chopin'sNocturne in D-flat, Op. 27, is in this key. Franz Liszt composed heavily in this key, with his most recognizable piece being the third movement of his piano composition ""Trois études de concert"", dubbed ""Un sospiro"". Liszt took advantage of the piano's configuration of the key and used it to create an arpeggiating melody using alternating hands. In orchestral music, the examples are fewer. Gustav"

When the concerto was first performed by Saint-Saëns himself at the Leipzig Gewandhaus in 1869 it was not well received, possibly because of its harmonic experimentation. Saint-Saëns's third concerto is not as often performed as his famous second concerto, or the fourth or fifth concertos, but it is still an important addition to the piano concerto repertoire. It was dedicated to Élie-Miriam Delaborde, a pianist who is believed to have"

In his survey on Schumann's symphonies, Brown suggests that the main models for his Third Symphony are Beethoven's Third and Sixth Symphonies, and Berlioz's ""Symphonie fantastique"". When evaluating the relationship between Schumann's Third Symphony and Beethoven's Third Symphony, there is the obvious connection between the tonal centers of each piece – they share the same tonality. The relationship between Schumann's Third Symphony and Beethoven's Third Symphony is mostly evident in the first movement.

The quintet has four movements: The third movement of the quintet is notably the most famous, and is the most often performed of all the movements.

It was one of the earliest symphonies to have four movements: The winds are not used in the slow movement, but the trio of the minuet shows ""the first emergence of winds from their earlier rôle ... in the earliest divertimenti for winds and strings."" The Minuet is a canon between the higher and lower voices at the distance of one bar. Haydn would"

Similar to the Second Symphony, it is an experimental choral symphony in four continuous sections: The symphony lasts around 25 to 30 minutes.

Its first performance took place on 29 March 1795, several months before the concerto now referred to customarily as ""No. 1"". As with the Piano Concerto No. 2, this C major concerto reflects Beethoven's assimilation of the styles of Mozart and Haydn, while its abrupt harmonic shifts demonstrate Beethoven's musical personality.

"the 19th century, Beethoven elevated the symphony from an everyday genre produced in large quantities to a supreme form in which composers strove to reach the highest potential of music in just a few works. Beethoven began with two works directly emulating his models Mozart and Haydn, then seven more symphonies, starting with the Third Symphony (""Eroica"") that expanded the scope and ambition of the genre. His Symphony No. 5 is perhaps the most famous symphony ever written; its transition from the emotionally stormy C minor opening movement to a triumphant major-key finale provided a model adopted by later symphonists"

It is puzzling, therefore, that many commentators see echoes in Ireland's concerto not only of Prokofiev's concerto, but also of Ravel's. In its jazzy rhythms, there are also hints of George Gershwin. The first person to record the Piano Concerto in E-flat was Eileen Joyce, in 1942, with the Hallé Orchestra under Leslie Heward. She"

The autograph score remained well preserved; it is stored in the British Library in London. In addition to the solo horn (in E), the concerto is scored for"
