This symphony’s slow third movement modulates up a fifth and transitions into 12/8 (“twelve-eight”) time after a French horn solo and is later twice interrupted by fanfares beginning with the notes [read slowly] “B-flat, B-flat, up to long E-flat.” Winds enter one-by-one as violins play descending fifths and fourths in this symphony’s opening, which influenced Bruckner’s uncompleted symphony in the same key. A 100-bar passage in this symphony’s finale features prominent piccolo and triangle solos imitating janissary bands in a (*) “Turkish March.” This symphony’s finale opens with a “terror fanfare” that is followed by a cello and bass recitative as the orchestra “tries out” and rejects previous themes. This symphony adapts lyrics that praise the “daughter of Elysium” from a Friedrich Schiller poem. For 10 points, give this symphony whose finale features the “Ode to Joy” theme. ■END■
