Symphonies 2 & 4
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Wiener Philharmoniker & Wilhelm Furtwängler
Symphonies Nos. 2 and 4 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1802 and 1806 respectively. They sit within his early-to-middle period and illustrate a shift from Classical models toward an expanded orchestral language, with broader dynamic contrasts, more adventurous harmony and increased motivic development that anticipates elements of his later symphonic writing.
