Symphony no. 6 in F major, op. 68 “Pastoral”

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & London Symphony Orchestra & Josef Krips

Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68 'Pastoral' is the sixth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1808. The work is an example of programme music, evoking rural scenes through flowing melodies, bird-call-like motifs, rustic dance rhythms and tranquil orchestral textures, and it occupies a distinct place in Beethoven's middle period as an exploration of descriptive, pastoral writing alongside his more overtly dramatic symphonic works.
