The Symphony No. 3 in E♭ major, Op. 55, titled as the Eroica Symphony is a symphony in four movements by Ludwig van Beethoven.
One of Beethoven's most celebrated works, the Eroica symphony is a large-scale composition that marked the beginning of the composer's innovative "middle period".[1][2]
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.[3][4] Beethoven first conducted a private performance on 9 June 1804, and later the first public performance on 7 April 1805.
