Program Notes
An arrangement for double wind quintet (and bass), this is the third movement of the symphony. It is a scherzo in F major and a trio in D major. In Beethoven's original orchestral composition the trio (based on an Austrian pilgrims' hymn) is played twice rather than once.
This expansion of the usual A–B–A structure of ternary form into A–B–A–B–A was quite common in other works of Beethoven of this period.
The movement as written lasts almost 10 minutes, making it a bit of a blow for the wind players. I have included an optional cut. This becomes as A-B-A movement, followed by the four-bar coda, and final presto. The horn parts are mainly Beethoven's, with some additions of mine ... the parts are for horns in D, (Horns in F are included)
