The best-known use of the Italian word "Eroica" in German culture is probably as the alternate name for Ludwig von Beethoven's Third Symphony. Ironically, the symphony had originally been composed in honor of [[Napoleon Bonaparte]], but Beethoven violently slashed out the title "Bonaparte" from his manuscript in May 1804 on learning that its namesake had declared himself the Emperor of France. The symphony was first performed in the summer of 1804; when the music was published in 1806, it was with the new title "Sinfonia Eroica" ("heroic symphony"). | The best-known use of the Italian word "Eroica" in German culture is probably as the alternate name for Ludwig von Beethoven's Third Symphony.
