Oeuvre 67 Partition.” Leipzig: Breitkopf & Hartel: March 1826. Octavo book runs 182 pages and measures 6.75″ x 10.75″ inches. In original printed wrappers with edges untrimmed. Front wrapper has been restored with adhesive tape along the bottom and fore-edge. A near fine copy housed in a modern clamshell case. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C minor is possibly the most recognized work of classical music ever written. Its dramatic four-note opening is known worldwide and remains rooted in popular culture. The symphony was written over a four year period commencing in 1804 and first performed in Vienna in 1808. Though the first printed edition appeared in 1809, it is believed that this edition is the first printing of the complete score, comprising all four movements.
