“The Symphony No. 8 in F major, Op. 93” is a symphony in
four movements composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1812. Beethoven fondly
referred to it as "my little Symphony in F," distinguishing it from
his Sixth Symphony, a longer work also in F.
The Eighth Symphony is generally light-hearted, though not lightweight, and in many places cheerfully loud, with many accented notes. Various passages in the symphony are heard by some listeners to be musical jokes. As with various other Beethoven works such as the Opus 27 piano sonatas, the symphony deviates from Classical tradition in making the last movement the weightiest of the four.
The work was begun in the summer of 1812, immediately after the completion of the Seventh Symphony. At the time Beethoven was 41 years old. The premiere took place on 27 February 1814, at a concert in the Redoutensaal, Vienna, at which the Seventh Symphony (which had been premiered two months earlier) was also played. Beethoven was growing increasingly deaf at the time, but nevertheless led the premiere. Reportedly, "the orchestra largely ignored his ungainly gestures and followed the principal violinist instead."
The symphony ends in good humor on a very long passage of loud tonic harmony. Tchaikovsky called this movement, "One of the greatest symphonic masterpieces of Beethoven."

“Simfonia a 8-a in Fa major, Op.93” este o simfonie in
patru miscari compusa de Ludvig van Beethoven in 1812. Beethoven se refera
tandru la ea numind-o “mica mea simfonie in Fa”, facand distinctive fata de a
sasea simfonie, o lucrare mai lunga, tot in Fa.
Simfonia a opta este in general cu o melodie ca o inima
usoara, desi nu e de categorie usoara musical vorbind si in multe locuri este
destul de Sonora, cu multe accente pe note. Variate pasaje ale lucrarii sunt
auzite de cativa ascultatori ca glume musicale. La fel ca si alte lucrari ale
lui Beethoven, cum ar fi sonatele de pian opus 27, simfonia deviaza de la
traditia clasica facand ca ultima miscare sa fie cea mai grea dintre cele
patru. Premiera a avut loc la 27 februarie 1814, la un concert la Redoutensaal,
Viena, acolo unde avusese premiera si Simfonia a saptea cu doua luni mai
devreme. Beethoven devenea din ce in ce mai surd la acea vreme, dar cu toate
acestea a condus premiera. Conform relatarilor “orchestra a ignorant mult gesturile sale stangace si a urmat pe
violonistul principal”.
Simfonia se termina cu un umor bun, pasajul ultim fiind lung si cu un puternic ton de armonie sonora. Ceaikovski a numit aceasta miscare “una dintre cele mai mari capodopere simfonice ale lui Beethoven”.
