Eroica

Japanese: 《エロイカ》 - えろいか
Eroica

...Although it is generally believed that the First and Second Symphony, Op. 36 (1802) were influenced by Haydn and Mozart, the seeds of his later original talent can be seen in these two works. It was certainly with the Third/Eroica, Op. 55 (1804) that he established a large form that had never been achieved in the history of symphonies and fully demonstrated his originality, but by this point he had already composed 22 of the 32 piano sonatas with opus numbers, and various innovations in sonata style had borne fruit in many masterpieces (Pathétique Sonata, Op. 13, 1798; Fantasia Sonata, Moonlight, Op. 27-2, 1801; Pastoral Sonata, Op. 28, 1801; The Tempest, Op. 31-2, 1803; Waldstein, Op. 53, 1804). The "Heroic Symphony" was the first piece in which he began to apply these experiences to orchestral works.
