Here is a video of an orchestra playing Beethoven’s Symphony #7, 2nd movement, Allegretto.
This performance was at the Wiener Musikverein in Vienna, Austria, in 1978;
Orchestra: Vienna Philharmonic
Conductor: Leonard Bernstein.
Bernstein doesn’t use a score as he conducts this world class orchestra, and the performance is stellar. The guitar arrangement is taken from the first 2 minutes 44 seconds of this recording.
