The theme of the second movement, played by the cellos and double basses and answered by the flutes, is borrowed from Mozart's Symphony No. 40. This symphony's final movement begins without pause and ends with twenty-nine C major tonic chords. The opening motif, repeated throughout by the horns and the piccolo, consists of a short-short-short-long rhythm and symbolizes fate knocking at the door.
