Méhul's symphonies are probably the finest French orchestral works produced during the "Age of Beethoven." The Symphony No. 1 in G Minor, dating from 1808–09, was eventually conducted by Mendelssohn and praised by Schumann. This edition includes a facsimile page of a hitherto-unknown early version of the work as well as new information on the performance history of all Méhul's symphonies.
