It is Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny", formerly known as "Symphony No. 5". It is a very philosophical work and the work that best represents Beethoven's artistic style. "Symphony of Destiny" has a rigorous structure, concise techniques, vivid images, and a very clear internal connection between each movement. The whole work is passionate, grand and full of strong artistic appeal.

The whole song has four movements.

The first movement is bright Allegro, sonata form. The theme of fate knocking on the door appears at the beginning of the music.

This motive develops the panicked first theme, which runs throughout the first movement and drives the music forward. The first theme is passionate and powerful, with a courageous momentum, expressing Beethoven's indignation and strong will to challenge the feudal forces. Then, the French horn blew a horn tone that was changed from the fate motive, leading to a tender, lyrical and beautiful second theme.

It expresses Beethoven’s desire and pursuit of happiness and a better life.

The motivation of fate breaks in again, leading to the expansion, and the majestic fate once again prevails. In the development part, modulations are very frequent, which adds to the original instability and makes the music appear richer.

The recapitulation part is the same as the presentation part. But at the grand end of this movement, the two themes merge again, and the momentum of the music is unstoppable, further showing the people's strong will and belief in victory over the darkness.

The second movement

Slightly faster Andante, double theme variations. The first theme is lyrical, serene and contemplative, played by the viola and cello. The elastic rhythm and undulating melody give this theme an inherent passion and power. The second theme is first played by the woodwinds, and then the heroic triumphal march is played by the brass instruments.

In the epilogue, the first theme is simply expanded, showing the hero's optimism and the confidence and strength gained from contemplation for further struggle.

The third movement Allegro and Scherzo are the contrast of various forces on the eve of the decisive battle.

The cello and double bass sounded eager tones, but the violin sighed helplessly. The theme of fate is still dangerous and compelling, and fate still wins the first stage of the decisive battle. However, the darkness will pass and the dawn is just around the corner. Accompanied by the dance theme played by bass strings, an inspiring section is introduced, which symbolizes the people's confidence and optimism in fighting against the forces of darkness.

Finally, the first theme stretches upwards freely under the performance of the first violin. The band's range is increasing, the sound is strengthening, and an irrepressible force leads the music directly into the glorious melody. Finale.

The fourth movement

Allegro, sonata form. It begins with a majestic triumphal march. First, the band plays the glorious first theme, and then the strings play the joyful second theme, which expresses the people's incomparable joy in victory. At the climax of the Development Department, the carnival was suddenly interrupted, and the threatening voice of fate sounded in the distance again, but it was already hanging on and could no longer stop the trend of history.

As a result, the brilliant and bright first theme sounded again, with overwhelming momentum, showing the incomparable joy of the people's final victory after struggle. This decisive battle with fate finally ended with a complete victory for the light.
