BEETHOVEN'S IMPORTANCE
Beethoven's music has never lost its central place in the concert repertory.
Some works had an immediate and specific impact on the next generation of c-
omposers. The influence of the popular Seventh Symphony, for example, can be
heard in Schubert's "Great" Symphony in C Major, Mendelsohnn's "Italian" Sy-
mphony, Berlioz's Harold in Italy, and Wagner's Symphony in C. The influence
of the Ninth Symphony was even more far-reaching; its special character had a
profound effect on Bruckner and Brahms, and its combination of instrumental
and choral forces prompted a series of hybrid symphonic works, from Berlioz
to Mahler. The highly expressive quality of all Beethoven's music inspired p-
oetic interpretations and encouraged a century of romantic instrumental works
with programmatic overtones.
Beethoven himself became a powerful symbol, the prototype of the modern artist
-hero as opposed to the artist-craftsman of the preerevolutionary Europe. His
fierce independence and his painfully achieved artistic triumph over personal
adversity,especially in the dramatically conceived works of the middle period,
made him a model for those later composers such as Wagner who sought to teach
or preach through art. At the same time, his fidelity to classical principles
of composition, that is,his use of large-scale structure rather than local t-
hematic events to achieve his most profound effects, has made his works the
sin-gle most important source for the various systems of analysis developed by
mo-dern theorists and pedagogues.
