Symphony — is one of the rarest in the heritage of Beethoven"s lyrical large-scale works. It is illuminated by the light of happiness, the idyllic picture warmed by the warmth and sincere feelings. It is no coincidence that the Symphony was so fond of composers-романтики drawing from it as from a source of inspiration. Schumann called it the Hellenic slender girl between two Nordic giants — Third and Fifth. Finished it was while working on the Fifth, in mid-November, 1806, and, according to the researcher of creativity of the composer R. Rolland, was created by the" one spirit, without the usual preliminary sketches... Fourth Symphony — pure flower that holds the fragrance these days, most clear in his life".
