Honoring Mozart and Haydn, Beethoven's First Symphony is a relatively conservative work from an otherwise bold composer. Despite its classical scoring and form, the symphony is uniquely Beethoven, with characteristic sforzandi, sudden shifts in tonal centers, and a prominent use of winds. Beethoven began his first sketches for a symphony in C Major in 1795, but soon thereafter turned his attention to composing works for piano. Sketches for the finale were found in the counterpoint exercises Beethoven wrote while studying with Georg Albrechtsberger in 1797, but it was not until 1799, a year after completing the Pathétique Sonata, that Beethoven fully turned his attention to composing his First Symphony. He completed the work in early 1800 and conducted the first performance on April 2nd of that year at the Burgtheater in Vienna. Also included in the program was an unidentified Mozart symphony and selections from Haydn's The Creation, Beethoven's Septet, Op. 20, and an unidentified piano concerto performed and composed by Beethoven. The Allegemeine Musikalische Zeitung reported this was the most interesting concert in a very long time." Instrumentation in set: 2.2.2.2: 2.2.0.0: Timp: Str(9.8.7.6.5)."

Über elf Jahre lang setzte sich Beethoven mit seiner einzigen Oper auseinander, die auf Jean-Nicolas Bouillys Historienstück 'Léonore ou l'amour conjuga'l fußt. In drei Fassungen ist sie überliefert: 'Leonore' von 1805 und 1806 sowie 'Fidelio' von 1814. Sie dokumentieren, wie Beethoven durch Eingriffe in Dramaturgie, Text, Umfang, Deklamation, Sangbarkeit und musikalisches Sprechen das Singspiel zum zeitlosen Ideendrama weiterentwickelte. In dieser Ausgabe werden erstmalig die Texte von 1806 (von Joseph Ferdinand von Sonnleithner und Stephan Breuning) und 1814 (von Georg Friedrich Treitschke), zusammengestellt aus den Fassungen der gedruckten Libretti, des Handexemplars und der musikalischen Quellen, synoptisch wiedergegeben.

»Mein Engel, mein alles, mein Ich! Kann unsre Liebe anders bestehn als durch Aufopferungen, durch nicht alles verlangen, kannst Du es ändern, daß Du nicht gantz mein, ich nicht ganz dein bin? Die Brust ist voll, Dir viel zu sagen - ach - es gibt Momente, wo ich finde, daß die Sprache noch gar nichts ist. Bleibe mein treuer, eintziger Schatz, mein alles, wie ich Dir; das übrige müssen die Götter schicken, was für uns sejn muß und sejn soll.« Dieser Brief an die Unsterbliche Geliebte wurde nach Beethovens Tod im Geheimfach seiner Kassette gefunden und offenbart die persönliche Seite des weltberühmten Komponisten. Was Beethoven bewegte und was er vor der Welt geheimhielt, hat er seinen besten Freunden in Briefen anvertraut."
