Beethoven+Explication

Beethoven's Symphony presents tones of action and calmness. The loud and fast paced parts presents a sense of activeness and action while the soothing parts create a tone of calmness and happiness.

The loud and fast paced parts create a color of black and darkness as it presents a picture of a incoming storm. The calm parts present colors of yellow and gold to give a heavenly feeling.

The last movement gives a tone of joy and happiness through the fast paced music with loud vocals. The joyful tone is also presented in the lyrics through words such as joy and jubilation.

Beethoven's Symphony was created during the start of the Romantic period. Romanticism focuses on human emotion and the power of nature. The power of nature is presented in the first few movements as some portions created an imagery of an over looming storm loud. The last movement, coupled with its lyrics, created a joyful tone which fits the Romantic focus on human emotion. Human emotion and the power of nature, both main focuses of Romanticism, were expressed in Beethoven's Symphony.
