Symphony No. 5, Mvt 2 by Ludwig von Beethoven.

0.00 It is introduced with a melody played in unison by the violas and cellos,
accompanied by the double basses.

0.57 Clarinets, bassoons, and violins create harmony, and the violas and bass
play a triplet arpeggio.

04.41 A fortissimo in which the entire orchestra takes part is followed by a


succession of crescendos.

The orchestra switches between several pitch centers and dynamic levels throughout
the whole symphony with an emphasis on the general rhythm of the "fate" motif.
