Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & Kurt Masur
Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed in 1800 and 1804–1805 respectively. They illustrate the contrast between his early adherence to classical models and his middle-period expansion of symphonic form, harmonic language and expressive range, with the third marking a decisive turning point towards larger structures and greater dramatic intensity in his symphonic writing.
