From the perspective of the development of Symphony genre in late-18th century, Beethoven Symphony No.1 demonstrates the continuity of the development of Symphony in late-18th century. Meanwhile, the thematic motive method used in the music also paved the new way for the followers.
In late-18th century, symphony became an instrumental genre, of which the meaning is self-contained and could be independent without words. Using contrasting material to create dramatic tension and the combination of appealing melody and form through thematic motive method became the most crucial trait of symphony.Among the musicians in late-18th century, Haydn’s contribution to Symphony is of the most important.
Therefore, through the two traits:”contrast, dramatic tension” and “thematic motive method”, an analysis on Beethoven’s Symphony No.1 could find the difference and the novelty that Beethoven showed in his thematic motive method. Furthermore, through his thematic motive method, the contrast and dramatic tension became even greater.
In the context of the development of the symphonies in late-18th century, this thesis seeks to discuss the thematic motive method that Beethoven used in his Symphony No.1. By doing so, the outbreak and the continuity of the tradition of Beethoven Symphony No.1 were expected to be shown.
