Egmont

Egmont is a play by Goethe telling the tale of a 16th century Flemish Count
who is sentenced to death by the occupying Spaniards. A young woman called
KlŠrchen tries to rescue him, but fails and commits suicide.

The play is probably best known today for the overture that Ludwig van
Beethoven wrote for it. He wrote incidental music for the entire play, but
only the overture is performed with any frequency today. Beethoven was late
in finishing the piece, only completing his music in time for the third
performance of the drama.
