The Little Girl and the Kind Ogre, Jack the Giant Spiller, How Brother Rabbit Cleared the Yard, Archibald and the Surly Dragon, The Naughty Boy and the Vengeful Peauut--are all neat little yarns in themselves, and at the same time sly parodies of the plots, characters, and narrative manner of fairy tales...

Swept by enthusiasm for the ideals of the French revolution and its battlecrles of fraternity and equality for all, the composer saw in Bonaparte the militant Messiah who with sword in hand was advancing to do battle with the foul breathed dragon of oppression. When instead of striking off the fetters of Europe, Napoleon bound it with the chains of his empire, Beethoven in a fit of disappointed rage tore the dedication of his symphony into a thousand shreds. But, after all, the majestic Eroica still sounds just the same...
