Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68, Pastorale

by Ludwig van Beethoven

Book Overview

Beethoven's profound love of nature, nourished by his solitary rambles through the countryside, provided the wellspring for his sixth symphony. Five years in the making, the Pastorale particularly reflects his feelings for rustic pleasures, and performers and listeners rejoice in a work more nuanced and delicate than the composer's typically intense symphonies.
The music is reproduced here from an authoritative edition, with bar-numbered movements...
