Completed in 1804 the Eroica Symphony marked a profound turning point in Beethoven's personal and professional life. Confronted by severe and progressive hearing loss the composer drew upon immense reserves to create one of his most dynamic and expressive works. Original in structure and form it signaled the composer's break with classical precedents and initiated an irrevocable change in the course of symphonic music. This miniature score is ideal for study purpose.
