Egmont, Op. 84 by Ludwig van Beethoven, is a set of incidental music pieces for the 1787 play of the same name by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It consists of an overture followed by a sequence of nine pieces for soprano, male narrator, full symphony orchestra. Beethoven wrote it between October 1809 and June 1810, it was premiered on 15 June 1810; the subject of the music and dramatic narrative is the life and heroism of 16th-century nobleman Lamoral, Count of Egmont from the Low Countries. It was composed during the Napoleonic Wars when the First French Empire had extended its domination over vast swathes of Europe. Beethoven had famously expressed his great outrage over Napoleon Bonaparte's decision to crown himself Emperor in 1804, furiously scratching out his name in the dedication of the Eroica Symphony. In the music for Egmont, Beethoven expressed his own political concerns through the exaltation of the heroic sacrifice of a man condemned to death for having taken a valiant stand against oppression.

The Overture became an unofficial anthem of the 1956 Hungarian revolution. Beethoven composed Klärchen's songs "Die Trommel gerühret" and "Freudvoll und leidvoll" with Austrian actress Antonie Adamberger in mind, she spoke enthusiastically of her collaboration with him; the music was praised by E. T. A. Hoffmann for its poetry, et sa réussite à s'associer à la pièce and Goethe himself declared that Beethoven had expressed his intentions with "a remarkable genius." The overture is expressive, one of the last works of Beethoven's middle period. It has become as famous a composition as the Coriolan Overture and is in a style similar to the Fifth Symphony, which he had completed two years earlier; the incidental music comprises the following sections, among which the overture, the lieder Die Trommel gerühret, Freudvoll und leidvoll and Klärchens Tod are well-known: Overture: Sostenuto, ma non troppo – Allegro Lied: "Die Trommel gerühret" Entracte: Andante Entracte: Larghetto Lied: "Freudvoll und leidvoll" Entracte: Allegro – Marcia Entracte: Poco sostenuto e risoluto Klärchens Tod Melodram: "Süßer Schlaf" Siegessymphonie: Allegro con brio The Hungarian film Overture by János Vadász, which won the 1965 Cannes Film Festival's Short Film Palme d'Or, uses the complete Egmont Overture as the soundtrack for a series of images featuring a hatching bird, referencing the rebellious nature of Egmont fighting for freedom despite all barriers.

The film, nominated for Academy Award for Best Documentary is considered one of the most influential short films in film history and described as "among the most ingenious pairings of music and image in the history of the festival."
