However, this repetitive motif can be observed not only in this work but also in other pieces, such as Beethoven’s only violin concerto. The work, written for Franz Clement, the 21-year-old music director and concertmaster of the Theater an der Wien, begins in D major with five timpani beats, a highly unusual beginning.
