Sinfonia pastoral by Inspiraciones musicales on NotaSinfonia pastoralSymphony No. 6 (Beethoven) from wikipediaLudwig van Beethoven's '''Symphony No. 6 in F major (Opus number|Op. 68)''', known as the '''Pastoral Symphony''', was completed in 1808. One of Beethoven's few works of program music, the symphony was labeled at its first performance with the title "Recollections of Country Life".BackgroundBeethoven was a lover of nature who spent a great deal of his time on walks in the country. He frequently left Vienna to work in rural locales. As the composer said, the Sixth Symphony is "a matter more of feeling than of painting in sounds", and the same point is made in the title he attached to the first movement (see below).The first sketches of this symphony appeared in 1802. The symphony has programmatic titles; Beethoven remarked, "It is left to the listener to find out the situations ... Anyone that has formed any idea of rural life does not need titles to imagine the composer’s intentions.InstrumentationThe symphony is scored for piccolo (fourth movement only), 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B flat, 2 bassoons, 2 Horn (instrument)|horns in F and B flat, 2 trumpets in C and E flat (third, fourth, and fifth movements only), 2 trombones (alto and tenor, fourth and fifth movements only), timpani (fourth movement only), and String section|strings..
