Symphony no. 6: Pastorale

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Dresdner Philharmonie

Symphony No. 6, known as the Pastorale, is a symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven composed in 1808. The work is explicitly programme-driven, employing pastoral themes, rustic rhythms and evocative orchestral colour to depict scenes of rural life and nature, and it occupies an important place in Beethoven's output as a move toward more descriptive, Romantic-era expression within the symphonic tradition.
