Symphonie N°5 en ut mineur, opus 67

Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 is a symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1804 and 1808 and premiered in 1808. The four-movement work features a concise rhythmic motif that recurs throughout, marked contrasts of dynamics and orchestral colour, and an expanded approach to sonata-form development that places it at the centre of Beethoven's middle-period output and the symphonic repertoire more broadly.
