Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68 "Pastoral" // Begun in 1807, it was completed in the summer of 1808 in Wiesenthal, near Heiligenstadt, and dedicated to Prince Lobkowitz and Count Razumovsky. The first performance took place in Vienna on December 22, 1803. A fervent lover of nature, Beethoven liked to spend most of the day in the countryside in summer. He was wont to wander through woods and fields with his inseparable sketchbook in hand. It is said that he refused an apartment because there were no trees around. "I like a tree better than a man," he once wrote. Then, in a letter to Thérèse Malfatti: "I'm so happy when I can wander through woods, coppices, trees, rocks. No man can love the countryside as much as I do! If only the forests, the trees and the rocks gave back the echo one wishes to hear!" At the end of September 1815, he scribbled the following: "Almighty God, in the forest I am happy; happy in the forest. Every tree speaks of you. O God, what sovereignty in such a forest. On the heights we find the peace that makes it possible to serve you." These words may echo those of the Apostle Paul: « (…) what may be known about God is clearly evident among them (to humans), for God made it clear to them.For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable (humans who don't want to believe in God). » (Romans 1:19,20) Schindler recounted that during a walk he took with Beethoven in beautiful Wiesenthal, the composer "gazed with pleasure at the magnificent landscape and confided to him [Schindler] that it was here that he had written the 'Stream Scene' from the Pastoral Symphony, while the birds, singing around him, participated in the composition."

Beethoven's sketchbooks show that he took infinite care in choosing the exact title of this symphony, as well as that of each movement. At first, he refused to give the work a title, deciding to let the listener find the symphony's meaning. Later, he changed his mind and wrote "Sinjonia caratteristica.Memories of country life. All painting loses, as soon as it [is] pushed too far into instrumental music." Later still, he modified the title and added: "Sinfonia pastorella. Anyone who understands what country life is like can imagine, without much prompting, what the author intends. It's more an expression of sensations than a painting." In the end, he wrote "Symphonie Pastorale. Not a painting, but simply a piece of music expressing the sensations that the pleasure of the countryside brings to man."
