Symphonie Nr. 3 ("Sinfonia eroica", Es-Dur)) Wikipedia, November 26, 2014 (Symphony No. 3 (Beethoven); Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Opus 55 (also Italian Sinfonia Eroica, Heroic Symphony) is a structurally rigorous composition of great emotional depth, which marked the beginning of the creative middle-period of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven began composing the third symphony soon after Symphony No. 2 in D major, Opus 36; he completed the composition in early 1804, and the first public performance of Symphony No. 3 was on 7 April 1805 in Vienna; scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets in B-flat, two bassoons, three horns (the 1st in E-flat, C, and F; the 2nd in E-flat and C; and the 3rd in E-flat), two trumpets in E-flat and C, timpani in E-flat and B-flat (in the 1st, 3rd, and 4th movements) and in C and G (in the 2nd movement), and strings; the work is in four movements: Allegro con brio (12-18 min.); Marcia funebre: Adagio assai in C minor (14-18 min.); Scherzo: Allegro vivace (5-6 min.); Finale: Allegro molto (10-14 min.). Depending upon the conductor's style, the performance time is between forty-one and fifty-six minutes.)
