Symphony no.6: 3rd movement (Allegro)
"Merry gathering of country-folk"
|
Form scheme
3rd movement |
A movement inspired by reality, which shows the best sides of rural life. Modelled on the form of the menuetto, in which a court dance was the musical focus, this part gains its inspiration from rural life.
|
bars 1-32
|
The first part is dominated by 2 themes.
|
bars 91-106
|
The melody of the 2nd theme is intoned by the oboe. The start is not on the 1st beat, the effect of this delay is a "limping behind" for a quarter-note.
|
bars 165-180
|
In the Trio the 3/4 time is replaced by a dance in 2/4 measure. This is racy, native music to which the dancers stomp in duple rhythm.
The 3rd movement closes with an abridged version of part A.
