Song Connections / Remixes

  • A Fifth of Beethoven is a disco arrangement of the first movement of Beethoven's Symphony No.5 in C minor, Op. 67.
  • Another arrangement of Beethoven's Symphony No.5 appears as part of Chaos Age, from pop'n music CS.

Trivia

  • Although Walter Murphy performed almost every instrument for A Fifth of Beethoven himself, Private Stock Records felt the song would be more commercially successful if credited to a band rather than an individual. The label credited the song to the fictitious Big Apple Band, not realizing that this was already the name of an actual disco group (which later changed its name to Chic).
