Beethoven 7th Symphony 5

Beethoven’s number 7 in A major, Op. 92, is a piece of music composed by Ludwig van Beethoven amid 1811 and 1812. The second of the symphony’s four movements, the Allegretto, became popular and had to be supported.

5 in F major was another piece that I watched. It was performed by Eugen Lee (violin) and Amber Rainey (piano) on 13th June 2011 at St. Peter’s Church Notting Hill.
