Ludwig van Beethoven ( 17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827)
Symphony No. 3 In E-Flat Major, Op. 55 "Eroica"
Composed mainly in 1803–1804, the work broke boundaries in symphonic form, length, harmony, emotional and cultural content. It is widely considered a landmark in the transition between the Classical and the Romantic era. It is also often considered to be the first Romantic symphony.
Beethoven first conducted a private performance on 9 June 1804, and later the first public performance on 7 April 1805.
