Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus, op. 43

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Chamber Orchestra of Europe & Nikolaus Harnoncourt

Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus, Op. 43 is a ballet by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed in 1801. The score is Classical in style and features overtures and dance movements built from clear melodies, varied rhythms, dynamic contrasts and rich orchestral colour, and it was written during Beethoven's early period when he began to move away from late 18th-century models toward a more personal approach to form and expression.
