In 1812 the Napoleonic war was wreaking havoc across Europe, and Beethoven was coming to terms with his worsening deafness as well as the end of a futile love affair with a married woman. These events provided the backdrop for the composition of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony - a work laden with episodes of doom, grief and manic fury - yet it remains one of the most thrilling and popular of all his symphonies.
