Beethoven: "The Ruins of Athens" Overture, Op. 113 (with Score)
Ludwig van Beethoven:
"The Ruins of Athens (Die Ruinen von Athen) " Op. 113 - Overture (with Score)
Composed: 1811
Conductor: Claudio Abbado
Orchestra: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
The Ruins of Athens (Die Ruinen von Athen), Op. 113, is a set of incidental music pieces written in 1811 by Ludwig van Beethoven. The music was written to accompany the play of the same name by August von Kotzebue, for the dedication of a new theatre at Pest.
Perhaps the best-known music from The Ruins of Athens is the Turkish March, a theme that has claimed a place in popular culture. The overture and the Turkish March are often performed separately, and the other pieces of this set are not often heard. Another of Beethoven's compositions, Six variations on an original theme, Op. 76, uses the Turkish March as its theme.
In 1822 the play was revived for the reopening of Vienna's Theater in der Josefstadt with a revised libretto by Carl Meisl, for which Beethoven wrote a new overture, now known as The Consecration of the House, Op. 124, and added a chorus "Wo sich die Pulse" (WoO 98).
