Beethoven Symphonie 3 Eroica

Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55, known as the Eroica, is the third symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803. The work expands classical symphonic form through extended movements, bold harmonic language and greater orchestral forces, and it marks a transition in Beethoven's career toward his middle 'heroic' period that influenced the development of Romantic-era orchestral music.
