BEETHOVEN

gests an unusual tuning of the drums in octaves. A fugato follows, after which the second subject enters in the unorthodox key of C major. It is here that many conductors take upon themselves to thicken Beethoven's wood-wind melody, with the brass instruments. The Trio is built up on a delightful double theme ushered in by the very first entry of the bass trombone.

The Adagio opens with a melody of the utmost nobility, perfect in curve, and of a marvellous serenity.
