Its second movement is a C minor funeral march.
Richard Strauss quoted this symphony's slow movement above the remark "In memoriam!" at the end of Metamorphosen. Pizzicato strings play a bass line starting on scale degrees 1Â 5Â 5Â 1 after a flourish to open this symphony's finale, a double variation on themes used in The Creatures of Prometheus. A held C-sharp in bar 7 of this symphony's first movement disappears in its long coda. (*) Cellos and basses play its quiet arpeggiated first theme after two loud tutti chords. This symphony began its composer's middle period and Romantic music as a whole. The horn, over a dominant chord, begins its first movement's recapitulation 4Â bars before other instruments. Its second movement is a C minor funeral march. The composer rededicated it to "a great man" after Napoleon's coronation. For 10 points, name this symphony in E-flat major by Beethoven.
