Beethoven Symphony No 7 Op 92

The Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, is a symphony in four movements composed by Ludwig van Beethoven between 1811 and 1812, while improving his health in the Bohemian spa town of Teplice. The work is dedicated to Count Moritz von Fries.
At its premiere, Beethoven was noted as remarking that it was one of his best works. The second movement, Allegretto, was the most popular movement and had to be encored. The instant popularity of the Allegretto resulted in its frequent performance separate from the complete symphony.

Instrumentation
The symphony is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in A, 2 bassoons, 2 horns in A (E and D in the inner movements), 2 trumpets in D, timpani, and strings.

Form
The Seventh Symphony is in four movements:
Poco sostenuto – Vivace (A major)
Allegretto (A minor)
Presto – Assai meno presto (trio) (F major, Trio in D major)
Allegro con brio (A major)
A typical performance time lasts approximately 40 minutes.
The work as a whole is known for its use of rhythmic devices suggestive of a dance, such as dotted rhythm and repeated rhythmic figures. It is also tonally subtle, making use of the tensions between the key centres of A, C and F. For instance, the first movement is in A major but has repeated episodes in C major and F major. In addition, the second movement is in A minor with episodes in A major, and the third movement, a scherzo, is in F major.

Simfonia nr.7 in La major, opus 92, este o simfonie in patru miscari, compusa de Ludvig van Beethoven in 1811 si 1812, in timp ce isi imbunatatea sanatatea in statiunea balneara beomiana Teplice. Lucrarea este dedicata contelui Moritz von Fries.
La premiera ei a fost notat faptul ca Beethoven a remarcat simfonia ca una dintre cele mai bune lucrari ale sale. A doua miscare, Allegretto, a fost cea mai populara miscare si este inca. Popularitatea instantanee  a ei rezulta in frecventa cantare separata de simfonia completa.

Instrumentatie
Simfonia e compusa pentru 2 flauturi, 2 oboaie, 2 clarinete in La, 2 fagoturi, 2 cornuri franceze in La ( Mi si Re in miscarile interioare), 2 trompete in Re, timpani si corzi.

Forma
Simfonia a 7-a este in patru miscari:
Poco sostenuto – Vivace (La major)
Allegretto (La minor)
Presto – Assai meno presto (trio) (Fa major, Trio in Re major)
Allegro con brio (La major)
Durata unei interpretari obisnuite este de aproximativ 40 de minute.
Lucrarea in intregul ei este cunoscuta pentru dispozitivele ritmice sugerand un dans, cum ar fi punctual de ritm si repetarea simbolurilor ritmice.Este de asemenea subtila ca tonalitate, prin folosirea tensiunilor dintre cheile centrale la, do si fa. De exeemplu, prima miscare este in La major, dar repeat episoade in Do major si Fa major. In completare, miscarea a doua este in La minor cu episoade in La major, iar miscarea a treia, un scherzo, este in Fa major.
