Sandwiched
between the popular
Symphonies Nos. 7 and 9,
the relatively short
Eighth Symphony finds
itself in a difficult
position even now. Right
after the premiere in
February 1814, one critic
opined that it had made
“no splash.â€
At first glance it makes
recourse to already
outmoded forms and
genres, even reviving a
minuet for the third
movement (in lieu of a
slow movement) after an
Allegretto scherzoso. But
Beethoven engages
intensively with music
history, breaking apart
traditional procedures
and patterns and finding
new, surprising solutions
that make his Eighth a
milestone in symphonic
history. Based on the
musical text of the
Beethoven Complete
Edition and furnished
with a new preface, this
recently prepared edition
reflects the latest in
Beethoven scholarship.
Now,in this study
edition, it is available
to everyone at a
reasonable price and in a
handy format.
