Beethoven's Fateful Beginning
Beethoven's Fateful Beginning Roy Goodman
Hope for the best at the beginning of Beethoven's 5th by David Srebnik It's the most famous, and at the same time the most treacherous beginning in classical music. Much has been written about the first four notes of Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

Conductor Roy Goodman wonders what those four notes mean -- but the bigger challenge is just simply getting started.

Listen to by clicking on the audio bar above.

Roy Goodman gained international attention and acclaim as the conductor of the Hanover Band, and has since conducted nearly every major European Orchestra. More information on conductor Roy Goodman is available at his website.
