Symphonies Nos. 5 & 6 贝多芬

贝多芬创作了九部交响曲，第一部于 1800 年问世，预示着新世纪的到来，最后一部于 1824 年完成。虽然他对管弦乐队本身的构成几乎未作改动，只是在必要时增加了一两件歌剧院中常见的乐器，但他极大地扩展了海登和莫扎特时代发展起来的传统形式，反映了一个巨大变革和动荡时期的个人和政治斗争。对同时代的人来说，他似乎是一位独一无二的原创者，但对他的一些后继者来说，他似乎将交响乐扩展到了令人生畏的程度"

原文简介:
Beethoven wrote nine symphonies, the first heralding the new century, in 1800, and the last completed in 1824. Although he made few changes to the composition of the orchestra itself, adding, when occasion demanded, one or two instruments more normally found in the opera-house, he expanded vastly the traditional form, developed in the time of Haydn and Mozart, reflecting the personal and political struggles of a period of immense change and turbulence. To his contemporaries he seemed an inimitable original, but to a number of his successors he seemed to have expanded the symphony to an intimidating extent.
