Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" / Große Fugue

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Philharmonia Orchestra & Otto Klemperer

Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" and the Große Fuge are compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803–1804 and 1825 respectively. The Eroica symphony expanded the scale and expressive range of the symphonic form through bold thematic development and extended structures that helped pave the way for the Romantic era, while the Große Fuge exemplifies Beethoven's late-period contrapuntal experimentation with dense, dissonant counterpoint and formal complexity originally conceived as a string quartet finale.
