Civ IV Classical Music - Beethoven

[Gwil]

I've managed to locate full tracks of the Civ IV music for some of the classical era- but, i'm stuck if I can nail the Beethoven track listed in Renaissance as:

"BeethovenAllegretto"

- is it just a Beethoven inspired piece (I think it sounds very genuine) or an actual work of his? ANy help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I asked my mother, she's a huge classical fan but she couldn't recognise it either.

Hi Gwil, the "BeethovenAllegretto" is the second movement of Beethoven's eighth symphony. FWIW this is famous as the "metronome" movement, the ticking you hear at the beginning and throughout the piece is supposed to be akin to the ticking of a metronome.
