From the Royal Albert Hall, London Nothing so massive, and so profound in its significance, had appeared in instrumenta! music before Beethoven's ' Eroica.' It is the first of the epic symphonies, and revolutionary in more senses than one. Written ' to celebrate the memory of a great man,' it is an idealised portrait of Napoleon, who in the early years of the nineteenth century was regarded by many people as the champion of freedom. The name Buonaparte was already on the outside page of the manuscript when, in 1804, he assumed the title of Emperor. Beethoven's response to the news was to tear the page in half. ' After all, then,' he said, ' he is nothing but an ordinary mortal. He will trample all the rights of men underfoot, to indulge his ambition, and become a greater tyrant than anyone.' Seventeen years later, when Napoleon died, Beethoven said that he had already written his funeral march in the second movement of this Symphony.
