LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN | Symphony No. 8 | Jader Bignamini, Conductor | Detroit Symphony Orchestra

Details

Description

Ludwig Van Beethoven wrote Symphony No. 8. in F Major, Op. 93 (“Little Symphony”) in 1812. Known for pairing symphonies, the composer crafted this lighthearted work alongside his grand Symphony No. 7. Symphony No. 8 is unique for its unconventional form and use of only major modes. Highlights include a brisk Allegretto scherzando, parodying the metronome, and a minuet in place of a scherzo led by trumpet and drum. The DSO first performed this symphony in 1920, conducted by Victor Kolar. Recorded live in Orchestra Hall, May 6, 2023.

00:00 I. Allegro vivace con brio
09:29 II. Allegretto scherzando
13:38 III. Tempo di minuetto
18:20 IV. Allegro vivace
