In a more modern usage, a symphony or symphony orchestra is an orchestra, particularly one that plays or is equipped to play symphonies. Going to hear a symphony orchestra play is sometimes called going to the symphony, whether or not an actual symphony is on the program.
The Symphony No. 5 in C minor of Ludwig van Beethoven, Op. 67, was written between 1804â1808. It is one of the best-known compositions in classical music, and one of the most frequently played symphonies. First performed in Vienna's Theater an der Wien in 1808, the work achieved its prodigious reputation soon afterward. E. T. A. Hoffmann described the symphony as one of the most important works of the time.
