In 1807, Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his play overture to the drama "Coriolanus" by Heinrich Joseph von Collin. The music deals with a completely antithetical hero. Outwardly heroic and determined, the young general Coriolanus is inwardly driven by self-doubt, anger and insecurity. Banished from his homeland of Rome, he swears revenge and tries to regain his rights by force. Ultimately, only his mother's pleas are able to stop him from going to war against Rome. Beethoven processes all of these different character traits in his overture and forms an overall picture of this tragic heroic story.
