Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68, -Pastorale- - Ludwig Van Beethoven

Beethoven's profound love of nature, nourished by his solitary rambles through the countryside, provided the wellspring for his sixth symphony. Five years in the making, the -Pastorale- particularly reflects his feelings for rustic pleasures, and performers and listeners rejoice in a work more nuanced and delicate than the composer's typically intense symphonies.
