The Symphony No. 5 in C minor of Ludwig van Beethoven, Op. 67, was written between 1804â1808. It is one of the best-known compositions in classical music, and one of the most frequently played symphonies. First performed in Vienna's Theater an der Wien in 1808, the work achieved its prodigious reputation soon afterward. E. T. A. Hoffmann described the symphony as one of the most important works of the time.

Tax day falls on April 17 this year, due to a little-known holiday in the District of Columbia. Every year, millions of Americans scramble to file their income taxes before the filing deadline â ordinarily April 15. But procrastinators get a reprieve this year: The 2012 deadline falls on Tuesday, April 17. This year, April 15 falls on a Sunday. One might expect that would make Monday, April 16, the 2012 filing deadline. But not so this year.
April 15 is a date burned into our brains: the drop-dead deadline to file our taxes or at least pay what we figure we owe for last year even if we get an extension to finish the paperwork later. But in 2017, the official tax day is actually three days later, April 18. Hereâs why: April 15 is a Saturday. The tax deadline is always postponed when it falls on a weekend or legal holiday. April 16 is also on the weekend, so itâs clearly not taking on the mantle of Tax Day.
