Ludwig van Beethoven døbes i Bonn [fødedag ukendt, sandsynligvis 16. december] (dør 28. marts 1827 i Wien).

From the article below by Alan Woods on the Fifth Symphony: “A revolutionary spirit moves every bar of the Fifth. The celebrated opening bars of this work … are perhaps the most striking opening of any musical work in history. The conductor Nikolaus Harnancourt … has said of this symphony: “This is not music; it is political agitation. It is saying to us: the world we have is no good. Let us change it! Let’s go!
