Eroica (or Heroic)
The "heroic" topic was prevalent around 1800 as Europe was entangled in the Napoleonic wars.
Beethoven's 3rd Symphony has come to be a flag bearer of this movement in music. In the same key of E-flat, we hear echoes of the revolutionary sentiments in both Op. 1/1 and Op. 70/2.

Sturm und Drang

Haydn famously didn't like Beethoven's extreme dramatic style in Op. 1/3, but we trace the opening theme back to Haydn's own String Quartet. The "storm" topic continues to inspire Beethoven to experiment with cloudy sounds in the Ghost trio.

Sacred and Profane

Not an immediate image of Beethoven in the popular imagination, but he was a master of juxtaposing the sacred and the profane. Often letting the profane and humour have the last words, as is the case in his culminating final piano trio Op. 97 that was the last piece he performed in public.
