The Septet in E-flat major for clarinet, horn, bassoon, violin, viola, cello, and double bass, Op. 20, by Ludwig van Beethoven, was sketched out in 1799, completed, and first performed in 1800 and published in 1802.[1] The score contains the notation: "Der Kaiserin Maria Theresia gewidmet" (Dedicated to the Empress Maria Theresa).[1] It was one of Beethoven’s most popular works during his lifetime; much to the composer's dismay.[2][3] Several years later, Beethoven even wished the score to have been destroyed, saying: "That damn work! I wish it were burned!"[4][5]
