and well knit in respect of form, and original In
the marshalng and treatment Of its thematic ma
teriaI. 1t has the customary four movements, and
employs the device of community of theme TO en-
force the principal of unity Thus the principal
subject of the scherzo is outsrowth of the first
motive of the principal theme of the first allegro,
and there is an episode before the working out in
the last movement in which the principal themes of
the preceding parts Tecapitulated. The con-

participation of all the Instruments in the develop
