The slow movement of this composer’s Fifth Symphony begins with the tuba and strings playing a plodding dual 9/8-and-3/4-time rhythm. In that symphony’s scherzo, a solo clarinet enters over violins (10[1])playing a repeated “F–D” ostinato. A toccata-like Allegro (10[1])marcato is the second movement of this composer’s Fifth Symphony in B-flat major, (10[1])whose premiere was interrupted by cannon fire celebrating the Red Army’s advance into Germany.
