Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60, was composed in 1806. Often overshadowed by his odd-numbered counterparts, the Fourth Symphony radiates classical charm and clarity.
Written amidst his work on the more dramatic "Eroica" and powerful Fifth Symphony, this composition reveals Beethoven's lighter, more playful side. Some have likened it to the perfect mixture of humor and hearty melody, offering a delightful contrast to more solemn works.
