Share of a season's work performances that are Beethoven.
Formula
Beethoven work performances / all work performances. One work performance = one work on a program × that program's number of concerts (entries the archive files under the same work number count once).
How to read it
From 19.4% in 1842–43 to 2.0% in 2025–26 (3.3% in 2022–23). Subscription concerts only: 25.0% to 3.1%.
Caveats
The counting unit changed in 1.1, so values differ from 1.0 (17.6% in 1842–43, 1.8% in 2025–26); the '1.0 unit' column keeps the old values. One archive's record, which mixes in programs of related bodies (New York Symphony, Stadium concerts). Early seasons have few concerts, so shares are coarse (31 work performances in 1842–43). The season in progress (2026–27) appears in the table but not in summaries.

New York Philharmonic Performance History: works, composers and conductors on more than 15,000 programs from the first concert in December 1842 to the current season. Besides the Philharmonic proper, the archive holds programs of the New York Symphony, the Stadium concerts and chamber series; this site does not filter them out. Updated nightly. https://github.com/nyphilarchive/PerformanceHistory · License: CC0 1.0
