Two hundred years ago, Beethoven rewrote the rules of music when he premiered his Eroica Symphony, describing through music his own personal experiences. Filmed on location in and around Vienna, the episode explores what shaped Beethoven and the Eroica: his life story, his deafness, his rivals and patrons, and what makes the music so powerful still.
