Symphonie No. 3 'Eroica'

Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55, 'Eroica' is a symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1804. It expanded Classical forms with extended movements, complex development, bold harmonic shifts and larger orchestral forces, and it was composed at a stage in Beethoven's career when he moved from his early Classical models toward a more individual Romantic language.
