Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" was originally dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte. Beethoven sympathized with the French Revolution and regarded Napoleon highly. He later retracted that dedication immediately upon hearing the news that Napoleon had proclaimed himself Emperor of the French. This concert marks the first time that this symphony, alongside his Symphony No. 2, will be performed on period instruments in Houston.
