The cello part for Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 has been edited by Stephen Geber, who served as the principal cellist of the Cleveland Orchestra for 30 years, from 1973 until 2003. Geber's bowings, fingerings and other editorial markings have been added throughout the score.

Symphony No. 5 by Beethoven is one of the most famous compositions in classical music. It premiered in concert along with the Sixth Symphony in 1808. The first movement is defined largely by its famous four-note motif, which is known worldwide. The motif frequently appears in popular culture – from disco to rock and roll, to appearances in film and television. This is followed by a lyrical slow movement and a scherzo & trio, before concluding with the triumphant finale, an unusual variant of sonata form.
