In 1809, Beethoven was asked by the Vienna Burgtheater to compose incidental music to Goethe's revolutionary play "Egmont." Beethoven loved Goethe's drama, written in 1788, which mirrored Beethoven's own defiant revolutionary era ideas, a running theme in Beethoven's operas and symphonies (such as "Fidelio" and "Eroica") and Beethoven began composing his masterpiece. The Egmont drama is based on fact: in 1568, Egmont, a famous Count and Dutch warrior, protested against the Inquisition. At the bequest of the King of Spain, The Duke of Alba was sent to the Netherlands to meet Egmont. The Duke invited Egmont to dinner, whereupon Egmont was immediately arrested and charged with religious heresy. Egmont was sentenced to death, but although given the opportunity to flee by supporters, he refused to escape. Before his execution, instead of showing fear or anger, Egmont approached the execution block with unflinching dignity. Before his execution, Egmont shouted the famous lines, "I die for freedom. Fall joyfully, as I give you an example!" Beethoven goes beyond Goethe's radical drama, by adding the powerful Egmont Overture and incidental music to the text; creating one of the most indelible genius works in history.
