Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F major op. 68

concert
Old Hall

Heidelberg Philharmonic Orchestra

Conductor

Mino Marani

Man from the city in a rural setting: in the five (!) movements of the Sixth Symphony, Beethoven musically depicts various impressions of nature. However, his Sixth is not intended to be a direct depiction of naturalistic or folkloristic scenes. Although movement titles such as "Scene by the brook" or "Merry gathering of country folk" suggest this, Beethoven's sketchbooks reveal the actual intention: "Pastoral symphony. In which no painting but the feelings are expressed which the enjoyment of the country brings forth in man ...". Beethoven was completely convinced that "all painting, after being carried too far in instrumental music, is lost".
