Symphony No. 4 B flat major op. 60

Beethoven's Symphony No. 4 In B Flat Op. 60 was composed in 1806, a very productive year for the composer during which he wrote numerous other great works – such as the 4th Piano Concerto and theViolin Concerto.

Today, this work is unjustly overshadowed by its famous neighbours, the “Eroica” and the 5th Symphony, although it was one of Beethoven’s best-loved and most often performed works throughout the19th century.
