Beethoven's first two symphonies almost sound like they could have been written by Hadyn or Mozart, but #3 broke all the rules and ushered in a new era of more emotional and romantic music.

In early drafts, #3 was dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte, but Beethoven was so pissed off at the audacity of someone crowning himself Emperor, that the dedication was struck. The published name was Sinfonia EROICA, composed to celebrate the memory of an unspecified heroic man.
