About
The landscape surrounding Beethoven had a huge influence on his music, particularly his 6th Symphony, which was completed in 1808 and first performed in a four-hour concert in Vienna that same year. He described the Pastoral symphony as “more the expression of feeling than painting”.
The symphony has descriptive titles for each movement, including Scene from the Brookside, and Thunder and Storm, and different parts of the score were used to represent the birds Beethoven would often hear on his walks in the woods near his home, the flute for the nightingale, the oboe for the quail and clarinets to represent the sound of the cuckoo.
