That theme is followed by softer, faster notes in the violins.
In Howard's End, Helen compares this symphony to "goblins walking over the universe". In the andante con moto section of this work of music, the key switches to C major, notably exposed by trumpets and tympani, and that same key is used for the trio section of the scherzo. The first four notes in this work of music are the third and fifth of the triad of this symphony's key in three 8th's and a half note; that is to say, three G's and an E-flat, and is followed by the same rhythm a whole step down. That theme is followed by softer, faster notes in the violins. For ten points, identify this Romantic symphony by Beethoven, completed right before the Pastorale, a work in C Minor.
