The Symphony No. 3 in E♭ major, Op. 55, (also Italian Sinfonia Eroica, Heroic
Symphony) is a symphony in four movements by Ludwig van Beethoven. One of the
composer's most celebrated works, the Eroica symphony is a large-scale
composition that marked the beginning of Beethoven's creative middle-period.
Composed mainly in 1803–1804, the work is grounded in the Classical symphonic tradition while also stretching boundaries of form, length, harmony, and perceived emotional and possibly cultural content. It has therefore widely been considered an important landmark in the transition between the Classical period and the Romantic era.
Symphony No. 3 is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets in B♭, two bassoons, three horns (the 1st in E♭, C, and F; the 2nd in E♭ and C; and the 3rd in E♭), two trumpets in E♭ and C, timpani in E♭ and B♭ (in the 1st, 3rd, and 4th movements) and in C and G (in the 2nd movement), and strings.
The work is in four movements:
