BBC Ten Pieces
Beethoven wrote nine symphonies. A symphony is a long piece for orchestra usually split into four sections known as movements.
His Symphony No. 5 contains one of the most famous motifs in musical history and has even been reused in pop songs! Incredibly, Beethoven wrote this symphony when he was beginning to lose his hearing. Some people think that the opening motif represents fate knocking on the door, Beethoven’s fate sadly being deafness.
The BBC’s Ten Pieces project aims to open up the world of classical music to young musicians across the UK and inspire them to develop their own creative responses to the music.
Click on the BBC Ten Pieces button to access the BBC’s website where you can learn about Beethoven, listen to a performance of the piece and access activities and exercises.
