Beethoven's opera Fidelio, linked readily with the composer's enlightened French Revolutionary zeal. Yet the task proved difficult. "The whole business of opera is the most distressing thing in the world" Beethoven suggested shortly before the premiere in 1805. Only in 1814, after two re-workings, did the final version materialise, with its new Fidelio Overture. The Fourth Piano Concerto (1806) and the humanist optimism of the Fifth Symphony (1808) may well have puzzled Beethoven's contemporaries, but are much admired these days.
