("heroic symphony, composed to celebrate the memory of a great man")
Originally named Eroica Symphony
Prince Franz Joseph von Lobkowitz gewidmet
Originally dedicated to Napolean Bonparte
E-flat Major, Op. 55, No. 3
Komponiert 1804
My Eroica symphony had originally been dedicated to Napolean Bonparte, a man who I had admired very much. However, as you can see in this original manuscript (shown above), after Napolean declared himself emperor of France, I was so angry at myself that I had actually looked up to this man that I grabbed a knife and scratched out his name. This symphony was first performed on April 7, 1805 at the Theater-an-der-Wien in Vienna.
