No. 7 in E-flat Major, "Eroica" / Es dur "Eroica"

In E-flat Major. This is a revision of an impromptu that was published as Op. 3 when the composer was 12 years old. Following a cadenza-like introduction that begins with a diminished seventh chord, a majestic, march-like theme emerges at "Tempo di Marcia." As observed in Beethoven's symphonies, E-flat Major is a heroic key, and the piece possesses a musical character appropriate for its title.
