Dear Vocalist:
This thread reminds me of the movie "Immortal Beloved." As I recall, there's a scene where Beethoven ducks for cover as the city is shelled by Napoleon's cannons. The soundtrack music playing under that scene is Beethoven's 5th Symphony, which some of my Beethoven-expert friends tell me wasn't written at the time. It would seem that the filmmakers not only took biographical liberties, but liberties with the soundtrack as well.
Does anyone else remember this scene? Am I right about my Beethoven chronology?
Cheers!
