Question

The second section of this symphony's last movement switches to G-flat major from D-flat major, the key of a “Great Summons.” This symphony's first movement opens with the rising theme “whole note C, half note D, dotted quarter note F, eighth note A, half note C.” (15[1])A rarely observed pause before the second movement of this symphony lasts for five minutes. (15[1])Two timpani strokes open this symphony's C-minor third movement scherzo, marked (*) “with quietly flowing movement.” A B-flat triple forte chord in this symphony is called the “death shriek,” preceding the solemn “Urlicht” (-5[1])(”OOR-likt”) movement. A poem from Frederich Klopstock is set to a chorus (10[1])in the final movement of this symphony, which ends with the toll of a church bell. For 10 points, name this symphony by Gustav Mahler, which follows “Titan” (10[1])■END■
