Eroica : The foundation of Rock?

Beethoven was ahead of his time while writing his 3rd symphony (Eroica) in 1804, when classical music generally was built on pleasing melodic ideas, with little presence of the loud or "violent" sounds that transform modern Rock into Hard Rock. Samples from the opening movement of Eroica with scenes from the video of Beat It (1982). The initial scenes here are from the 2003 movie Beethoven - Eroica, starring: Ian Hart, Frank Finlay, Jack Davenport, Tim Pigott-Smith, Claire Skinner...
