Grand Symphonies • 1
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Johann Nepomuk Hummel & Uwe Grodd & Gould Piano Trio
Grand Symphonies • 1 is a recording of Ludwig van Beethoven's First Symphony, completed and first performed in 1800. Musically it follows Classical symphonic form with four movements and conventional orchestration while revealing Beethoven's emerging expansion of harmonic language, thematic development and orchestral colour, positioning the work as a transitional step between the models of Haydn and Mozart and his later symphonic writing.
