This sonata is also unusual in that the Scherzo is followed by a Minuet and Trio movement, whereas most sonatas have either a Scherzo movement or a Minuet movement, but not both.

Some analysts have attempted to account for these irregularities by analyzing the Scherzo as the sonata's slow movement, which just happens to be rather fast, which would keep the traditional structure for a four-movement sonata that Beethoven usually followed, especially in the first half or so of his piano sonatas.

When it is found in later works, it usually takes the form of the theme in a set of variations, or the Minuet, Scherzo, or Trio sections of a Minuet and Trio or Scherzo and Trio movement in a sonata, symphony, etc.

1 containing the 1st movement and Scherzo, vol.

2 containing the last movement ; the Blumine and funeral march movements are missing — in fact, conflicting numbering of the Scherzo, and the smaller size of the paper on which Blumine is written, seems to indicate that the Blumine was not originally part of Mahler's conception, and that it was lifted whole from the 1884 score at some point between the symphony's completion in early 1888 and the Budapest premiere in late 1889.

In 1924 Krenek made a fair copy of only the first ( Adagio ) and third ( Purgatorio ) movements, and might have made a fair copy of the second movement, but as Mahler's draft of the Scherzo was very much patchier this was evidently less feasible.

At its first performance Cooke's realisation of the final movement proved to be a revelation to listeners, and Cooke resolved to complete the orchestration and elaboration of the Scherzo movements, which required much more compositional work than he had time for.

The second movement, the first of two brilliant Scherzo movements, consists of two main ideas, the first of which is notated in consistently changing metres, which would have proved a challenge to Mahler's conducting technique had he lived to perform the symphony.

Recorded in rather primitive and " minimalist " two-channel sound, the stereo antiphonal effect is striking ( if crude ); but unfortunately the complete performance from March 21, 1954 of the Tchaikovsky Symhony No. 6 (" Pathetique ") is not entirely stereo as the master 2-track tape of the entire ' Allegro molto vivace ' third movement has apparently not survived ; an artificial stereo synthesis is substituted.

The second movement starts with an Allegro largely based on a single recurring rhythmic cell ; this section has been described as cadenza-like, with very difficult passages in the solo part.

The programme of the first performance in Boston clearly has the movement marked " Allegro scherzando " and the keeper of the Bartók archives was able to give us further conclusive evidence that the faster tempo must be correct.

The Introduction excited deepest attention, the Allegro charmed, the Andante was encored, the Minuets, especially the trio, were playful and sweet, and the last movement was equal, if not superior to the preceding.

The third movement, " Allegro con fuoco ," energetically combines various nimble, articulate, and rhapsodic themes, bookended by a delightfully clownish tune — a mixture of serious and silly that well represents Poulenc's oeuvre as a whole.

Almost no secular music by Schütz has survived, save for a few domestic songs ( arien ) and no purely instrumental music at all ( unless one counts the short instrumental movement entitled " sinfonia " that encloses the dialogue of Die sieben Worte ), even though he had a reputation as one of the finest organists in Germany.
