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.
In a typical year, April 15 would be the red-letter day for taxes. This year, however, April 15 has been pushed aside by April 18. April 18 is this year's deadline to file taxes or apply for an extension. Usually, when April 15 falls on a weekend the tax deadline is moved to the following Monday. April 15 falls on a Friday this year but another event, Emancipation Day, is pushing back the deadline three more days.
