The Debut Review Product Details Beethoven’s Fifth was first performed in Vienna in 1808 but was not initially recognized as an innovative piece of music. This was mostly due to poor conditions at this first performance that included a frigidly cold theater and a poorly prepared orchestra. Even though the debut left critics with mixed opinions, many people soon realized it was unlike anything they had ever heard before. Robert Schumann, a German composer & influential music critic wrote, “This symphony invariably wields its power over men of every age like those great phenomena of nature. This symphony, too, will be heard in future centuries, nay, as long as music and the world exist.” CATALOG #: TS354 PAGES: 12 BINDING: SADDLE STITCH COPYRIGHT: 2009 COMPOSER: LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN ARRANGER: JONATHON ROBBINS EDITOR: TONY SANTORELLA DESIGNER: CAROLYN CONNORS ATTRIBUTE: SOLO & ACCOMPANIMENT ISBN-10: 1585600946 ISBN-13: 9781585600946
