Die Symphonien SE

Beethoven's nine symphonies, written over a period of around 25 years between 1799 and 1824, were considered his musical legacy soon after his death. The composer explored the entire spectrum of the genre and in each work found new solutions to the basic problem of how to mediate between distinct movement characters and motivic unity. Not least, it proved groundbreaking to make the symphony fruitful as a vehicle for ideas - be it for the heroic, the sublime or the feelings of country life - right up to the appeal for brotherhood in the choral finale of the Ninth. Beethoven's symphonies are now available, based on the reference score of the Beethoven Complete Edition and with new prefaces, in a practical slipcase with nine handy study editions. A wonderful gift idea for every admirer of the great Viennese master at an attractive price!
