Beethoven's Eroica.

1st movement - Beethoven played his own composition and some improvised works of other composers. This is his way of gaining attention from the public. His music represented extreme emotions from tragic to wildly exhilirating.

2nd movement - named the "Funeral March" represented the massive state funerals that had been happening in Paris during those times.

3rd movement - represented Beethoven's views and hopes for the future. His music exuded his confidence as he finished looking back and started looking forward to a brighter future for himself and for his music.

4th movement - represents the sum total of a person's life. Wherein every day things take up new meaning and is being valued more that it was valued before.
