Da-da-da-dum...it's probably the most famous musical opening in history. But...why? How did Beethoven's Fifth Symphony become so much more well known than the Fourth or the Sixth? On this week's show, learn about the piece of music that helped end World War 2, was covered by Chuck Berry, and is currently floating through interstellar space.

Thanks to Gregor Quendel for the piano arrangement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in C Minor featured in this episode.
