Beethoven's symphonies

The five best symphonies by Beethoven
Symphony #1
Beethoven's symphony was in c-major. Beethoven dedicated his song to Baron Gottfried Van Swieten. He published it in 1801 and took place on April 2 1802.
The symphony is clearly indebted to Beethoven's predecessors, particularly his teacher Joseph Haydn as well as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, but nonetheless has characteristics that mark it uniquely as Beethoven's work, notably the frequent use of sforzandi and the prominent, more independent use of wind instruments. Sketches for the finale are found among the exercises Beethoven wrote while studying counterpoint under Johann Georg Albrechtsberger in the spring of 1787.

Symphony #2
Beethoven symphony #2 was in D-major it was published in the summer of 1802 and preformed on 5th of April 1803. It was  elaborated in the summer of 1802 in Heilligenstadt when Beethoven was fighting to get control over his life. In this period he will write his famous letter to his brothers known under the name of The Heilligenstadt Testament.

Symphony #5
Beethoven symphony was preformed in c-minor. It was preformed on dec 22 1808. Beethoven remains as one of the most well known composers in the modern world. It is, no doubt, made possible by his ground breaking symphonies. Beethoven's symphonies number only nine; each one unique, each one preparing the way for the next.
