221 years ago (Today April 2nd) Beethoven's Symphony No.1 was premiered in Vienna Austria at the Berg Theatre.
In this video we analyze Beethoven's Opening in his Symphony No.1 in C and show you how Beethoven composed the intro like no other composer before.

Let's explore why Beethoven is one of the best composers ever and how he used music theory and tonal harmony to create this famous symphony opening.
