We continue our look at Beethoven as Innovator with nature’s grandeur balanced with the composer’s  playful humour. His Pastoral Sixth Symphony, one of the first great programmatic symphonies, paints a vivid landscape of countryside life. After the break, delight in Beethoven’s witty Symphony No. 8, filled with plenty of rhythmic and harmonic jokes.
