The composer greatly admired the poet Goethe, and when asked to contribute music to the new play, he did so without accepting payment and “merely for love of the poet Beethoven's incidental music to Goethe's tragedy, written in 1810, includes nine numbers, of which the Overture is the most stirring, The music was well-received by audiences and critics After hearing a performance, the critic E.TA, Hoffmann wrote: “It is indeed a gratifying aspect co see two great masters united in a wonderful work.” Goethe's Egmont depicts the military enslavement of the Netherlands by the Spanish Duke of Alva in che 16th century. It shows their betrayal, their agony, their growing defiance and dreams of victory. It ends with a call co revolution inspired by the death of the play's hero, Count Egmont. In measure 93, we hear the imprisoned Egmont’s head fall by a sharp stroke of the sword, followed by the triumphant flourishes of liberty.
