probably 5 times and #6 is in progress. I love the music (the first of his greatest symphonies IMHO) and with orchestra performance and more, so that the movie may be not the greatest is well, such is life. I don't know if its inaccurate or not.

about 13:30 "this piece is a monster"

14;38 - Movement #1 begins (ends at 31:46)

29:28 - "A Haydn would be over by now, wouldn't it?" (15 minute into the FIRST movement)

Not an exact quote, but pretty close.

2nd movement begins 33:40 (the famous funeral march). Ends 47:45

3rd movement begins around 1:01 h:m ends 1:04:36

(Haydn makes his entrance around 1:03)

4th movment 1:09 - 1:21

1. I'm right there with you

One of my faves. Ian Hart as Beethoven is fantastic. Have the DVD.

2. Thank u for a very much needed kick. I hope people at least listen to the 2nd Movement (funeral

march) 33:40 to 47:45 (14 min). But there are no weak movements in this symphony, they are all well above his average, which says a lot.

3. That's John Eliot Gardiner's orchestra

I saw them play Eroica at Carnegie Hall right before COVID hit. The lead violinist (Peter Hanson) is the same guy as in the film so I kept having flashbacks. It was very cool.

4. I'm glad to hear that they didn't just find a horn player and a violin player etc. for a movie

but rather this is a serious and very worthy performance which I thought all along.

performed with sudden emphasis.
"such a grand finale must embrace a sforzando passage"

7. I wonder how many people checked this out of the library

... thinking it said "Erotica."



However in any case I have seen this and I agree that the music is exquisite.
