to Beethoven when asked what the
four omnibus tones at the beginning
of his Fifth Symphony meant
This theme is so simple that we are
told the members of the orchestra
laughed at it when the work was first
performed, and the critics all ridiculed
the symphony in the beginning also.
Nevertheless, the work has come to be
regarded as one of the greatest, if not
tie greatest ever written. 1t is so
rugged and strong, so full of fire and
passion, that it seems to be the work
of one divine moment of inspiration.
Yet, careful examination of the score
reveals the fact that not a note was
written without the utmost care and
thought All through the first move
ment of the Fifth Symphony one is
never allowed to lose sight of the
theme of Fate knocking at the door"
Even when the calm and beautiful sec
end theme is introduced, the omnibus
theme is heard grumbling in the bass.
But, although the great theme was
made to serve so majestic purpose, it
was suggested to Beethoven by the
sound of yellow-hammer according
to Carl Czerny. Carl Czerny, who wrote
so many of the technical exercises we
use to enable our fingers to run light
~ up and down the keyboard, was a
pupil of Beethoven. He says that Bee
thoven heard the bird while walking in
the park in Vienna, and used often to
make up music-or to extemporize, as
it is called-from the music of the
birds thus reard.
The second movement is the famous
and ever favorite Andante, in which
the 'cellos and violas announce a beau
tiful song-like theme, the basses touch
ing in with pizzicato strokes. In the
Sherzo, which follows the double
basses set the pace. Without formal
closing to the Scherzo, the Finale
opens triumphantly. All the voices
an particularly the brasses intone a
vigorous subject in C major.
Berlioz said of this immortal work:
His secret sorrow, his fits of rage or
depression, his visions by night, and
bis dreams by day, form the subject of
the work; while the form of both
melody and harmony, of rhythm and
Instrumentation, are as essentially new
AID original as they are powerful and
