Symphony no.7 in A major. Opus 92, second movement by Ludwig van Beethoven

This four-part unison by German simple composer Ludwig van Beethoven was completed in 1812 in Teplice when the composer was regaining his health. The symphony is arranged for strings, woodwinds (2 oboes, 2 clarinet), brass (2 bassoons, horns and trumpets), and percussion (timpani) and divided into four movements Poco Sostenuto Vivace, Allegretto, Presto, and fast con brio (Beethoven).The game movement contrasts sharply from the first, as the second movements flow and theme is much more communicative than the first.This expressiveness comes in form of subtle elegance mingled with a hint of sadness, though it still maintains its dance-like rhythm. The second movement acts as the antithesis to the somewhat glorious imagination of the first and also in consideration with its tempo. The movement is slow compared to the first, though the movement is in Allegreto form meaning, it is to be contend in a lively manner. The transition from the first movement is punctuated by its sad th eme, soon enough the mood is counterbalanced with the Allegreto form.The ostinato in the piece is prevalent in the completely movement, acting as a support for the main theme played in succession by the brass and string sections. As unmistakable in most of Beethovens works, there are split in the movement that the theme starts from a quiet and small accenting into a strong and sudden emphasis. The dance-like rhythm of the first movement is maintain through the Allegretto tempo while maintaining its tonal change from the first. survey Cited Symphony no. 7, A Major, op. 92, Second Movement.
