Symphony no. 3 "Eroica" / Overtures

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar & Gustavo Dudamel

Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" is a symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803–1804 and frequently paired on recordings with orchestral overtures. The work expanded the scale, formal development and emotional scope of the symphony in Beethoven's middle period, introducing extended structures, bold harmonic shifts and motivic development that helped pave the way towards Romantic-era orchestral writing.
