Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): Sinfonías nº 1 en Do mayor opus 21 y nº 2 en re mayor opus 36. Partitura general de bolsillo.

Built on the elegant classic models of Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven's First Symphony, premiered in 1800, did much to spread the composer's fame abroad. While this charming work reflected the character of 18th-century concepts and techniques, it was his Second Symphony in which Beethoven stepped boldly forward finto the greater use of developmental material that was the hallmark of ihis so-called Second Period.

Ideal for study in the classroom, at honre, or in the concert hall, this affordable, high-quality, conveniently sized volume will be the edition of choice for music students and music lovers alike.
