6). Cooper and Meyer do admit, however, that "with stress added, unsyncopated notes [such as the half note in our inverted trochee) can 'feel like' syncopations" (p. 102). In the symphony movement, the second beat in the inverted trochee |unknown entity| often feels syncopated in this way, by virtue of abrupt dynamic, timbrai, or harmonic change.

Tovey describes this transition with remarkable honesty: "In his most inspired works the transition is accomplished by an abrupt coup de théâtre; and of all such coups, no doubt the crudest is that in the Unfinished Symphony. . . . Is it not a most impressive moment?" (Donald Francis Tovey, Essays in Musical Analysis: Volume I: Symphonies [London, 1935], p. 213).

The first to characterize the second theme in this way was Eduard Hanslick, in his review of the first performance (17 December 1865), which described it as "an enchanting passage of song of almost Ländler-like ease" (quoted in Franz Schubert, Symphony in B Minor (" Unfinished"), p. 114).

Martin Chusid has argued that a sudden perception of resemblances between the "Unfinished" Symphony's (fragmentary) third movement and the trio from Beethoven's Second Symphony might account for Schubert's abrupt abandonment of the symphony while working on the trio.

Dahlhaus (Nineteenth-Century Music, p. 76) observes that "the works on which the Beethoven myth thrives represent a narrow selection from his complete output: Fidelio and the music to Egmont; the Third, Fifth, and Ninth Symphonies; and the Pathétique and Appassionato sonatas. It is not a fact in support of the Beethoven myth that these works are 'representative,' but rather one of the claims that make up the myth." For recent contributions on the Beethoven myth, see Scott Burnham, Beethoven Hero (Princeton, 1995);

Time, Morality, and Humanity in Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony
-
The Eroica certainly reflects the immense social significance of the Napoleonic wars, regardless of the changes Beethoven made to its title page. The Pastoral invokes images of collective - rather than individual - life in the countryside, and Wagner's reception of the Seventh Symphony invokes the collective too, in the form of the dance (albeit "apotheosized"). The social significance of the Ninth Symphony is unquestionable; its performances at the collapse of the Berlin Wall and at the opening ceremonies of the 1998 Winter Olympics (with satellite linkage of four simultaneous performances) vividly record how the work is used to forge experiences of universal collective destiny. Among recent contributions on some of these matters, see Richard Will, "Time, Morality, and Humanity in Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony," Journal of the American Musicological Society 50 (1997), 271-329, as well as two other essays in the same volume: Mark Evan Bonds, "Idealism and the Aesthetics of Instrumental Music at the Turn of the Nineteenth Century," ibid., 387-420;

Lyrical Modes
-
ed. Steven Paul Scher Cambridge esp. 59-63
-
Genette (Introduction à l'architexte, passim) shows that from Aristotle until the eighteenth century the lyric mode and the lyric genres were of equivocal, even questionable status; focus on the individual made the lyric mode of dubious worth for public poetic discourse, compared with the epic or dramatic genres, which could have collective significance and serve systems of social organization and formation. Here I shall focus not on lyric genres but on the lyric as a mode whose focus is the representation of internal states and of an individual subjectivity. Some useful remarks on the lyrical mode can be found in Paul Alpers, "Lyrical Modes," in Music and Text: Critical Inquiries, ed. Steven Paul Scher (Cambridge, 1992), pp. 59-74 (esp. 59-63).

Musicalische Lyrik und instrumentale Großform
-
ed. Otto Brusatti (Graz, 1979)
-
Given that we are exploring explicitly temporal aspects of the symphony movement, this concept of the lyric will be of little use in the present exercise. For a comparison of the lyric with what he calls the discursive/dialectical, see Peter Gülke, "Musicalische Lyrik und instrumentale Großform," in Schubert-Kongreß Wien 1978, ed. Otto Brusatti (Graz, 1979), pp. 207-14, an essay that concentrates on Schubert's C-Major String Quintet, D. 956.

Manfred Wagner describes these two moments as "ein Explodieren der inneren Welt, die sich um Konventionen nicht scherte und um äußere formale Gliederungen, das Durchbrechen einer individuellen Aufwallung, die jeder Norm widerstand" (Franz Schubert: Sein Werk - Sein Leben, p. 102, emphasis added). In connection with the Sublime and matters of symphonic convention and genre, the agitated music that follows the silences of mm. 62 and 280 might also be compared to the storm scene in Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony (and to storm scenes in other contemporaneous works). For extensive commentary on the storm scene, often bearing on matters considered here, see in Richard Will, "Time, Morality, and Humanity in Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony," passim.

Schubert - Der Meister des kleinsten Übergangs, in Franz Schubert - Der Fortschrittliche?

ed. Erich Wolfgang Partsch [Tutzing] esp. p. 31
-
Otto Brusatti has applied Adorno's famous Berg appellation "der Meister des kleinsten Übergangs" to Schubert for his characteristically rapid harmonic transitions, including mm. 38-41 from this movement (see Otto Brusatti, "Schubert - Der Meister des kleinsten Übergangs," in Franz Schubert - Der Fortschrittliche? Analysen - Perspectiven - Fakten, ed. Erich Wolfgang Partsch [Tutzing, 1989], pp. 29-36, esp. p. 31). The sophisticated inner metric workings of the second theme suggest that we might paraphrase the epithet and call Schubert "der Meister des kleinsten Innengangs" or "der Meister des kleinsten Innenbewegungs."
