Information
Inhalt
Beethoven originally wanted to dedicate his First Symphony, which was performed for the first time in 1800, to his first significant benefactor, the Elector Maximilian Franz. However, Maximilian Franz died shortly before the work was published, and Beethoven finally opted to dedicate the piece to Gottfried Freiherr van Swieten. Swieten was a former prefect of the court library, and lived at Renngasse 3 in Vienna until his death in 1803. He proved an influential patron during the composer’s early years in Vienna.
This sample comes from the third movement which, despite being entitled “Menuetto” is very far removed from dance music. Indeed, its quick tempo, dynamic contrasts and detailed themes bring it closer to a scherzo. The recording reproduced here was made in 1945 by the National Symphony Orchestra under Austrian conductor Karl Franz Rankl (1898–1968). Alongside his work for opera houses, Rankl lead led workers’ choirs and was particularly committed to supporting New Music. In protest against the Nazi regime, Rankl left Germany in 1933 and eventually emigrated to England, where he was responsible for reforming the ensemble at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, along with various other projects. He went on to lay similar foundations for ensembles in Scotland and Australia, while progressively dedicating more of his time to his own compositions.
