Beethoven's last symphony (number 9) takes about an hour and ten minutes to perform. It is characteristic of his works to be much longer than the works of composers like Mozart and Haydn.

What is the most unifying musical factor in the Fifth Symphony?

I'm going to assume you mean Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. The most unifying factor of Beethoven's fifth is the cyclical nature of the multi-movement piece. It features a reoccuring motif that is rhythmic rather than melodic. The recognizable rhythm: short, short, short, long, is a rhythm that exists all throughout the symphony (which is very strange and at the time, unprecedented). Most movements of a symphony are not connected. Beethoven used his Fifth Symphony to bridge the gap between movements. In arguably every movement of the Fifth (a little less in the 2nd movement) one can hear this unifying rhythm that connects the symphony nicely.


In his Fifth Symphony Beethoven did what?

Beethoven introduced the cyclical form into the multi-movement pieces. By repeating his recurring motif: short short short long, throughout all the movements of the 5th Symphony, Beethoven created a very unique and distinct piece of music that resonates with nearly the entire civilized world if heard.


How can you tell if you have an authentic Beethoven fifth symphony?

Any orchestral rendition of Beethoven's 5th is authentic as long as it follows Beethoven's score. It does not matter which orchestra from which country was playing, or when the recording was made, it simply needs to follow the score. If the listener were not already intimately acquainted with Beethoven's 5th, the only way to be sure it was authentic would be to follow the score as the symphony progressed.


What was the 4 note motif Beethoven used in his Fifth symphony?

It begins by stating a distinctive four-note "short-short-short-long" motif twice. Three quick G's and a long E-flat


Which of beethoven's symphonies starts with the short short short long pattern?
