Theatricality and spectacular sound effects are the hallmarks of this unusual work that conjures up the life-and-death drama of one of Europe's most decisive battles- the Duke of Wellington's victory over Napoleon in a Basque province in 1813.

This edition is in full score, reprinted from the authoritative Complete Works edition originally published by Breitkopf and Hartel.

Includes facsimile pages from the original publication, Beethoven's original instructions for performance, an annotated instrumentation list, and a prefatory note describing the events that led up to, and followed, the creation of this work.
