Recaps

Symphony 5
Recaps in the subdominant (Eb major) instead
Symphony 8
Recaps with A3 instead of A1
Cyclic Unity
Symphony 8
1st and 2nd movement have shared characteristics
Rise to a 3rd in the opening material
Fz/Fp on the 2nd beat
Short T sections
S theme share the same rhythm
Accompanied with syncopations and dramatic use of dynamics
Even a proportional tempo relationship ( allegro moderato 3/4 crotchet =
andante con moto 3/8 quaver)
Symphony 9
Motto of groups of repeated single pitches
Culminates in the repeated 4 note groups of tonic in finale
Form
Symphony 9/1
Introduction (77 bars long) combines variation with sonata principles
2 horns in C basso quietly intone the theme, leaving space for
development
Symphony 8/1
Primary theme is divided into 2 segments
1st segment is heard only once at the beginning of the exposition
Gives the impression that it is an introduction (because of its modal
orientation [aeolian] and dark timbre)
Balance of the exposition is dedicated to exposing and developing the 2nd
segment of the primary theme and the secondary theme
Development is involved with working out the 1st segment of the primary
theme
Instrumentation
Relied on winds to play important themes

Especially for the lyrical themes in Symphony 8

Development
Symphony 9
Development is not confined to transition passages and devt section
Occurs in the introduction and coda (4th mvmt)
Introduction
Symphony 5/1
First symphony to start without a slow introduction
Shifting of importance to the coda
Symphony 9/4
Coda is a long development section

Proportional time
Symphony 8
Allegro moderato 3/4 crotchet = andante con moto 3/8 quaver
Symphony 9
Andante crotchet and allegro ma non troppo = same speed

Don't forget about the expansion of association of musical forms

e.g.
Smetana's cycle of symphonic poems are interrelated
Mahler's symphonies are interconnected
