http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201302/201302100945408541208.mp3Napoleon had briefly occupied Vienna in 1805, and the Fifth Symphony became a symbol for struggle and triumph.
So, it may have been that people hearing the Fifth Symphony at that time could identify it with this national struggle against France. And of course, there is an irony in that, that in the Second World War of this century, it became a symbol for the French resistance against German oppression. I suppose that says something about the universality of the music.
It's very fitting that the Voyager satellite should be carrying Beethoven's Fifth Symphony as part of its message to aliens out there, because it's a great portrait of human beings. We work hard. We try to build things. We get very angry and depressed. We're trying to find our way toward happiness, and in spite of our best efforts we very often fail, and we kind of come to an impasse just as in the symphony it kind of comes to this. What next, what are we to do now, and then suddenly a little glimpse of hope, you can scarcely believe it's true and then sure enough. We're there.
