Company Sergeant-Major Gooseley returns to his former home in Sussex. His commanding officer, now retired, lives there. His return cannot be a coincidence.

In 1803 Beethoven described himself as ' Hercules at the crossroads,' dissatisfied with his work and facing the threat of becoming totally deaf. It was then that he began work on the ' Eroica,' the Symphony No 3 in E flat which a contemporary critic said ' revealed symptoms of an evidently unbridled attempt at peculiarity.' The story is written and narrated by EDWARD GREENFIELD with TIMOTHY WEST as Beethoven
