The painting draws on a famous portrait of legendary classical music composer Ludwig van Beethoven, but makes some significant changes that alter the meaning of the painting completely.

Beethoven’s Symphony No.5 and Mozart’s Symphony in G minor considerably differ in concept when it focusing on the symphony. The famous opening motive of Beethoven’s symphony is a single rhythmic motive which is consistently heard in various forms. Both symphonies are characterized by “single motives developed with consistency and a sense of growth.”(Kerman, 209) The obvious difference between the opening motives is that Beethoven’s utilizes the technique in another way, which the symphony reveals

He learned and imitated the forms of Classicism and infused his own creative energy, partly inspired by his struggle to come to grips with his deafness. While his output includes masterful works in a variety of genres, he is best known for his symphonies. Having studied for a time with Haydn, the master of the Classical symphony, Beethoven’s first two symphonies demonstrate mastery of the Classical forms. In the symphonies that follow

Beethoven’s 5th Symphony was written from 1804-1808 and first performed in 1808 (Schauffler, 1933). Mahler’s 4th Symphony was first performed in 1901 almost a century later after being written in 1899-1900 (Carr, 1998).
