EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a precious piece of musical history - the title-page of Ludwig van Beethoven's corrected manuscript for his Symphony No. 3 in E-flat minor, opus 55, famously known as "Eroica". Created in 1804, this autograph manuscript bears witness to Beethoven's meticulous attention to detail and his relentless pursuit of perfection. What makes this particular page even more intriguing is the visible evidence of an intense emotional moment. The dedication originally inscribed on the page, "intiolata Bonaparte" referring to Napoleon Bonaparte who was once admired by Beethoven, has been violently scratched out. This act was so forceful that it left a hole in the paper itself. The significance behind this alteration lies in Beethoven's disillusionment with Napoleon after he declared himself Emperor. It symbolizes not only the composer's disappointment but also his unwavering commitment to principles such as freedom and equality. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to the 19th century when Beethoven composed one of his most groundbreaking symphonies. We can almost feel the intensity emanating from every note written on that fragile sheet of paper. It serves as a reminder of how music has the power to convey profound emotions and transcend time. This print is not just a visual representation; it encapsulates an extraordinary story within its frame – one that celebrates both artistic genius and human resilience against adversity.
