Traditional Tuesday: 5th Symphony Beethoven movement II (smalin)

This is a continuation of last Tuesday's post:

Movement 2 slower and in 3 (I can't state enough how helpful I find smalin's animation).

The melody is simply and thinly stated in the low strings and then builds until about 1:30 where more instrumentation is added and then the texture things out again

at about 2:40 the mood changes as the theme is varied with more ornamentation

at about 3:40 things build again into the majestic sounds heard earlier with added brass

followed by long tones and intensity

at 5:00 theme is varied with violins adding quicker ornamentation

at about 5:40 repeated notes get my attention and anticipation as the tonality changes until it moves into a scale

two note repeats

various solos and duets break up the melody, repeated notes, horn 'call'

7:20 majestic promenade as stated earlier

8:00 strings thinly state a light and bouncy section

8:15 woodwinds enter with a new variation with a new tonality

9:10 and it is easy to (see) hear as the instrumentation is building as they enter in the theme is a little move free and with a bit of swing

tension builds with scales and then quiets down with a woodwind feature

10:15 solo in double reed

11:20 melody lengths and quiets but does not come to a rest, yet

11:50 long strings build with bouncy ascending meldody

the last moments heard are the melody with separated into small phrases
