Beethoven Remix Contest by BBC Radio 3

What music would you make if you had access to the same instruments as Beethoven? Well, to celebrate 250 years since the great man's birth, you can find out.

For the first time ever, Radio 3 and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales have recorded the first movement of Beethoven's iconic Fifth Symphony in separate sections so that you can download, edit, LOOP, PLAY and REMIX Ludwig's work yourself.

Some will be chosen for broadcast on BBC radio networks.

• You’ll be able to upload your remix until 5pm on 10 December 2020.
• It must be a maximum of 5 minutes long. And be in .wav or .mp3 audio format.
• You can also use your own music, lyrics and performance in the remix, but you must not use anything that you do not have the rights to use - for example, samples from a commercial recording. So you’ll have to show us that the remix is a combination of the Beethoven audio and your own original work.
