The Symphony in C major, WWV 29, is the only completed symphony of Richard Wagner. == Form == The Symphony in C major is in four movements: * I. Sostenuto e maestoso - Allegro con brio (475 bars) * II. Andante ma non troppo, un poco maestoso (208 bars) * III. Allegro assai (447 bars) * IV. Allegro molto e vivace. (442 bars). The performance time is approximately 35 minutes. The first movement is in sonata form movement prefaced by a slow introduction. The second movement is in the key of A minor; the overall shape is A + B + B + A + coda, a strong contrast existing between the lyrical A and the signal-like B ideas. The movement begins with a motif from the coda of the first movement. The third movement is a scherzo and trio with the traditional structure A + B + A + B + A + coda. The scherzo is characterised by a dynamic rhythm, whilst the trio (''un poco meno allegro'') features a contrasting smooth melodic line. The fourth movement is structured in the same classical sonata form as the opening movement. The idea which follows the presentation of the first theme is equivocal in tonality. Wagner accelerates the tempo (''più allegro'') half way through the coda to generate increased excitement as the music moves towards its close. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Symphony in C major (Wagner)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
