Symphony No. 4
Symphony No. 4 (Op. 60), composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in B Flat Major, was written in 1806. The symphony was premiered in March of 1807 at a private concert for Prince Franz Joseph von Lobkowitz. The piece was composed at the request of Count Franz von Oppersdorff, a friend and relative of Beethoven’s patron Prince Lichnowsky. The work was dedicated to the count, who had listened to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2, and was so impressed that he offered a great sum of money to the composer to work on a new symphony. However, many experts feel that the work found no justice, as it has always been considered an intermediary piece between Symphony No. 3 and No. 5.
