3 Described by various terms – Deruchie prefers per aspera ad astra (‘through adversity to the stars’) – the paradigm of a symphony embodying a transformation of ‘dark’ forces into ‘light’ was understood as a fundamental element of Beethoven’s ‘heroic’ style; Burnham, Scott analyzes its musical properties in Beethoven Hero (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1995)Google Scholar.
