Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in C Major (Op. 21) was written in 1799–1800. The symphony premiered April 2, 1800 at the K.K. Hoftheater nächst der Burg in Vienna, and is dedicated to Baron Gottfried van Swieten, an early patron of the composer. The piece was published in 1801 by Hoffmeister & Kühnel of Leipzig.The opening of the first movement is often considered a musical joke, but it may simply be a result of Beethoven's experimentation: it consists of a sequence of dominant-tonic chord sequences in the wrong key, so that the listener only gradually realizes the real key of the symphony. The labeled "Andante" of the second movement is played considerably fast, very much unlike the general concept of Andante. The third movement is remarkable in that although it is marked Menuetto, it is so fast that its ostensibly a Scherzo. The finale opens with another (possible) joke; the adagio consists of slowly-played partial scales before the full C-major scale marks the start of the allegro.

Who composed Symphony no.1? Is anyone able to tell me the composer who composed a 'Symphony no. 1' was? All I know is that it was his only popular work and no subsequent compositions were ever as good, leading him to resent that piece.The answer is NOT Beethoven, Tchaikovsky or Mahler. mephistopheles, the statement that none of his subsequent pieces were as good is a common assumption, not my personal opinion.Thank you to everyone who answered.
For the life of me I can't fathom who you could possibly mean,Prokofiev's 1st Symphony 'the Classical' perhaps? or Cesar Frank as has been already suggested? though your statement that it was their 'only popular work and no subsequent compositions were ever as good' would surely not absolutely hold true in either case..Incidentally where does this evaluation stem from? Either way I'm almost sure it must refer to one of the minor or lesser known composers.However I am shocked and dumbfounded that someone ventured forth Brahms.What!How thoroughly and utterly insane..
Robert Schumann, this symphony is also known as "Spring"

Like you:Mozart Symphony No.40,41 (They are all lovely, really.)My favorite are Beethoven's symphonies, I listen to them all the time. The 5th is probably my favorite, but I adore them all.Here are some others:Schubert Symphony No.5 youtube.com/watch?v=xL4P1xjsiuo (Almost sounds Mozartian)Mendelssohn Symphony No.4, Italianyoutube.com/watch?v=KhstAEaWBl4 (really recommend this one if you haven't heard it)Tchaikovsky Symphony No.4youtube.com/watch?v=S-c1LLZaVCATchaikovsky Symphony No.6youtube.com/watch?v=O1KCy3l-AQgDvorak Symphony No.9youtube.com/watch?v=-pLIBWyFBIg (3rd movement with homage to Beethoven's 9th)

Huge fan of Beethoven's 3rd, "Eroica", first movement. All of those syncopations and that first inversion Fmaj7 chord in the development gives me goosebumps every time.I also adore Beethoven 1, 5, 9 and Haydn's 92 (Oxford)
