Beethoven's symphonies can be divided into the following categories: first, heroic, dramatic, which is the most basic aspect of his creation, such as the Third, Fifth and Ninth Symphonies; second, life customs, lyrical, such as the First, Fourth and Eighth Symphonies; and third, the mass, dance, such as the Seventh Symphony.
Beethoven's life experienced the intense changes in European society before and after the French Revolution, and his works are the product of the combination of the times and his personality. He greatly expanded the ideological content of symphonic music, making it a genre that directly reflects social change, and the expressive range of the piano was greatly enhanced. The expansion of the content led to the innovation of the expression: he broke through the traditional formal structure, the use of motivic themes and dynamic development of musical ideas, so that the music has a remarkable momentum and power; built on the functional system of the system of variations, which became the characteristics of his harmonic style; the flexibility of the off-key transposition and a large amount of rhythmic contrasts and contrasts of strength.
