Hector Berlioz's Treatise on Instrumentation praises this composition's use of the oboe in the andante section of its last movement. A quotation from this work's second movement appears under the words "In Memoriam!" near the end of Richard Strauss's Metamorphosen. An unexpected C sharp breaks up the cello melody in its unusually long first movement, which also confounded its composer's contemporaries by having a solo horn enter four bars before the rest of the orchestra begins the recapitulation. This work's second movement is a C minor (*) funeral march, while its fourth movement is based largely on the theme of the last movement of its composer's ballet The Creatures of Prometheus. For 10 points, name this symphony which was dedicated first to Napoleon, then to "the memory of a great man", by Ludwig van Beethoven.
