In 1812 the Napoleonic war was wreaking havoc across Europe and Beethoven was coming to terms with his worsening deafness as well as the end of a futile love affair with a married woman. These events provided the backdrop for the composition of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony – a work laden with episodes of doom, grief and manic fury – yet it remains one of the most thrilling and popular of all his symphonies.
