Movement: Awakening of Cheerful Feelings on Arriving in the Country, 'Allegro ma non troppo': On Beethoven's Openings; Opening phrase of the 'Pastoral': ood, Symbolism and Musical Function; Musical Acorns: the outline of melody; the shape of a question; The 'question' in the 'Pastoral' repeated...; ...and answered; ... / Beethoven, Ludwig van 00:51:46 -- 2. Movement, Scene by the Brook: General introduction; the birth of a melody; Brook music quickens; syncopated horns; theme changes hands; evocation of birdsong; The 'motto' theme introduced by violins and treated to round-like overlappings; Transitional 'bridge' theme sets off for new key group. But is it? And does it?; Will he, or won't he? Beethoven keeps us guessing; ... / Beethoven, Ludwig van 00:38:09 -- 3. Movement, Merry Gathering of Country Folk: Beethoven and the Scherzo: an introduction; Part One of opening phrase taken by the strings; Immediate response; Part One is answered by a march more singing, continuous legato; Entire orchestra gives out opening theme, this time fortissimo and with powerful accents; A mustical ball game. The contrast of this and the first two movements could hardly be greater; After quietly teasing suspense, Beethoven mocks village band, first the oboe, then the bassoon; ... / Beethoven, Ludwig van 00:14:40 -- 4. Movement, Thunderstorm: Unparalled portrait of nature's power over humanity, with some stupendous orchestration; Self-generating form and terror of total unpredictability; 'anxiety motif' from the violins; The 'lashing rain' motif - downward-driving arpeggios from the first violins and violas; The 'lightning' motif, and its recurrnece later in the movement; 'Rain' motif, derived from descending scale pattern from the violins at the outest; ... / Beethoven, Ludwig van 00:15:03 -- 5. Movement, Shepherd's Song - Happy and Thankful Feelings After the Storm: 'Yodelling' figure from clarinet, then horn, the violins, who introduce the main theme; Details of instrumental magic in the interplay of horns, cellos, clarinets and bassoons; Main theme heard three times in a row - and yet never the same way twice; Now we get the whole orchestra, playing full out, with violins all double-stopping; Transition to the next section, based on the last two notes of the main theme; ... / Beethoven, Ludwig van 00:33:22 --
