Mahler Symphony No. 7 - 5th Movement - Listening Guide
b'
Boisterous timpani joined by blazing brass set the scene for the riotous fifth movement. The long, arduous first movement, after three shorter movements developmental in mood, is finally equalled by a substantial \\u2018daylight\\u2019 finale. The movement is a rondo combined with a set of eight variations, capped off by a dramatic coda. There are parodies of Richard Wagner (1813-1883) \\u2013 Die Meistersinger von N\\xfcrnberg and Franz Lehar (1870-1948) \\u2013 The Merry Widow.
