In the organizer's words:

Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 in B flat major op. 60

"Cheerful, comprehensible and very engaging" - the critics of the time were unanimous about Beethoven's 4th Symphony. The work captivates with its classical clarity and is revered by the Romantics. A "slender Greek maiden between two northern giants" - this is how Robert Schumann saw the Bonn master's 4th Symphony. Nevertheless, it was always somewhat overshadowed by the heroic Symphonies No. 3 and No. 5 - quite wrongly, as the reviewer of the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung noted in 1812. Symphony No. 4 is, after all, "a work endowed by the composer with precisely the originality and energy that characterize the earlier productions of his muse, without harming clarity through bizarreness (...)".
