Description
Includes Op 40 in G and Op 50 in F. Grade 8 level.
TheRomancefor violin and orchestra No. 2 inF major,Op. 50, is the second of two such compositions byLudwig van Beethoven. It was written in 1798 but not published until 1805 (by which time Beethoven had completed and published the other work,Romance No. 1inG major, Op. 40). The accompaniment is for flute and a pair each of oboes, bassoons and horns, with strings. The length is about eight minutes, Beethoven gives the tempo “Adagio Cantabile”.
No composer has had as profound and sustained an influence on immediately following generations to the present day as Beethoven. His instrumental music, especially his symphonies, served as touchstones for symphonic composition throughout the nineteenth century. The extraordinarily high standard of his music and his relative independence as a freelance composer have led to his being characterized as the greatest composer of all time.
