The 5th Symphony, the »Symphony of Fate«, by Ludwig van Beethoven is perhaps the most famous symphony in music history, and not just because of the first four notes – about which Beethoven himself is said to have said, »Thus fate knocks at the door.« In the midst of the turmoil of war, revolution and personal crises, Beethoven wrote a work that revolutionised the entire world of music. His musical journey from minor to major, from darkness to light, inspired all future generations of composers.
