Symphonic Beethoven


Explanation:
Since symphonic is usually an adjective in English, maybe you can use it to describe the aspect of Beethoven that will be addressed in the book.

Example sentence(s):
  • The Ninth is the summit of Beethoven's symphonic output, the work which brought the voice into the symphony, thus paving the way for Mahler's great choral
  • Yet others have better understood Beethoven's final symphonic work
