The finale of a piece with this nickname uses the composite theme (read slowly) “descending F-sharp, E, D, C-sharp, short B, up to C-sharp” played between the two violin sections. The cellos play a rising (read slowly) “F-sharp, G, triplet A—G—A” to open the second movement of a symphony with this nickname. A piece with this nickname dedicated to Karl von Lichnowsky opens with a slow theme marked (*) Grave (“GRAW-vay”).
