Beethoven: Eroica Symphony by Thomas Sipe, ISBN 0521475627
Beethoven's Third Symphony, originally entitled "Bonaparte," now bears the title "Eroica" ("Heroic"). Napoleon promised an Enlightened Europe but ultimately Beethoven was disillusioned by him. This handbook treats the politics, aesthetics, reception, and musical meaning of this decisive work, which, because of its unique design, powerfully expanded the potential of symphonic expression. Beethoven's ideals, derived largely from the writings of Friedrich Schiller and clearly perceived already by the composer's contemporaries, are readily apparent in the music.
Sibelius, Symphony No. 5 by James A. Hepokoski, ISBN 0521409586
Sibelius's Fifth is one of the great late-Romantic symphonies. In this searching account, based on a wealth of new information, James Hepokoski takes a fresh look at the work and its composer. His findings have implications beyond Sibelius himself into the entire repertory of post-Wagnerian symphonic composition. In addition to providing a descriptive analytical overview, the book also chronicles the work's initial composition and subsequent revisions. It concludes with a discussion of the composer's own prescribed tempos, along with a comparison of several different recordings.

Symphony No. 5 Reformation in Full Score by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, ISBN 0486278751
In this work, a staple of the orchestral repertoire, the composer sought to convey the idea of the Reformation in symphonic terms. The resulting masterpiece magnificently captures both the joy and the suffering implicit in the subject, building to a powerful finale including variations on Luther's confessional chorale Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott. The symphony is reprinted here from the authoritative Breitkopf & Hartel edition.
