Notes.

This is an attempt to list every known recording of the Eroica. Recordings which I have able to obtain and use for this study are indicated with .

There are two repeats in the scherzo. Performances which omit the first repeat are indicated in light yellow. Those which omit both repeats are indicated in a darker yellow. The one case where a conductor (Zinman) has added a repeat is indicated in purple.

For each performance, I have tried to list several representative publications so as to avoid ambiguity. If you find a case which needs clarification, please ask about it.

Performances which were explicitly recorded for publication have their dates listed in bold. This is discussed further on the Sample page.

Recordings only published privately or illegally (a.k.a. 'pirates') are indicated in gray. This is discussed further on the Pirates page. Performances issued pseudonymously are listed separately.

I will here express my deepest appreciation to all those who have written with corrections and criticisms, and invite you to add your two cents as well.
