L.van Beethoven's Symphony No.4, Op.60, with synchronized sheet music (score) and a theme-and-structure analysis. Performance: Rafael Kubelik (conductor), Orchestre de Paris, 1975/09 Stereo, Herkulessaal, Residenz, München Analysis, Score Editing, Synch: ScoreMan 0:00 Movement 1: Adagio - Allegro vivace 12:01 Movement 2: Adagio 22:00 Movement 3: Allegro vivace 28:06 Movement 4: Allegro ma non troppo * OVERVIEW This symphony, composed in 1806, stands somewhat in the shadow of its monumental neighbors—Symphonies No. 3 (“Eroica”) and No. 5. Yet it is a masterpiece of classical balance, wit, and lyrical charm, often admired for its structural clarity and elegance. Robert Schumann once called it “a slender Greek maiden between two Norse giants,” highlighting its more serene and joyful nature compared to the dramatic intensity of the third and fifth symphonies. * HISTORICAL CONTEXT Beet
