Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A major Op. 92 was written in mid-1811 while he was in the spa town of Teplice, Bohemia hoping to regain his health. It was completed in 1812, and was dedicated to Count Moritz von Fries. It had its premiere at a charity concert for soldiers wounded at the battle of Hanau, Vienna during the Napoleonic wars, under the conductor of the composer himself.
Its second movement Allegretto, characterized by a rhythmic ostinato almost like a march, is the best known of the symphony and also one of the best known of the composer's works, characterized by the almost continuous repetition of the E note in the harmony among the chord degrees present.
