The opening theme of this earlier composition is quoted in all four movements of Charles Ives's Concord Sonata. This work's second movement is a set of double variations that alternates between A-flat major and C major. The theme of the scherzo recurs before the recapitulation of the finale, which ends with 29 measures of C major, the parallel major of this work's main key. It premiered in the same concert as its composer's next piece in the same genre. That other piece features a "Scene at the Brook" movement and is nicknamed "Pastoral." For 10 points, name this piece known for its short-short-short-long "Fate" motif, a symphony in C minor by Ludwig van Beethoven.
