full_question: Toward the end of this piece's fourth movement, violas, cellos, and basses dither between D-sharp and E quarter notes for 21 measures while the violins assert the main theme in A major. The two D-major trio sections in this piece's third movement are based on an Austrian pilgrims' hymn. During the coda of this piece's first movement, woodwinds and horns hold a four- octave E pedal point for 22 bars as strings repeat a four-bar motif. That movement has a long 4/4 poco sostenuto introduction in which sections exchange ascending 16th-note scales before switching to a 6/8 Vivace. A second-inversion A minor chord in the woodwinds and horns opens and closes the Allegretto second movement, whose theme is based on a long-short-short-long-long rhythm. It premiered on a program that included its composer's Wellington's Victory overture, and Richard Wagner referred to this symphony as "the apotheosis of the dance." For 10 points, name this symphony completed four years after its composer's Pastoral Symphony.
