Following https://ibandstand.com/songs/558 and https://ibandstand.com/songs/631, this 3rd movement is a 17' long ballad with Beethoven's memory: a life made of solitude, of absence of romantic history, of suffering, with this deep conviction of being a musical genius. Here Beethoven leads us into a serene tranquility, a melodious appeasement. In this movement, the themes and variations are as if improvised by the first violins. The whole movement is in fact a long improvisation based on a dialogue between the strings and the wind instruments. At the end, the two short, surprising and sonorous fanfares call for a “restart” and announce the last movement.
