Another great choice. Interesting that you should mention the woodwinds, since Beethoven was critcized in his day for using them too much in his works. I think their use is connected to his love of nature and the woodwinds seem to be the intstruments that best capture that sound. And, I am in full agreement, you can't ignore Beethoven.
