Nr. Der 1. Ein Tanz-Satz ist er auch insofern, als er ohne große Überleitungen stattdessen klar definierte Themenabschnitte aneinanderreiht, die direkt durch das thematische Material motorisch voranarbeiten. Only in the 6th symphony and in Fidelio is a paired scoring sufficient for him, as was also typical with trumpet and horn. Eine stilistische Nähe zu Haydn und Mozart, also zur dezidiert Wienerischen Musik (Beethoven ist gebürtiger Rheinländer) ist hier noch überdeutlich, geradezu als eine Hommage an die beiden großen Wiener, als ein Nachempfinden zu erkennen, z. Vor allem Scherzo und Finale haben hingegen bereits eine typisch „breite“ Beethovensche Klangfülle, d. h. eine vergleichsweise dichte (grollende) Akkordik. 92 | Conductor.

Whereas in the Sixth Beethoven chooses the high trombone pair (alto/tenor) for the sharp sound effects in the thunderstorm movement, in Fidelio he uses the low pair (tenor/bass) with great effect for the gloomy dungeon scene in the 2nd act. In his 5th symphony Beethoven saves the trombones until the final movement, where they underline as a special effect the radiant breakthrough from the preceding C minor to C major. In his 5th symphony, Beethoven calls for trombones for the first time in one of his orchestral works; and it can be said that he was the first to establish the trombone firmly within the symphony orchestra (in the sense of a permanent new feature), even though individual earlier orchestral works in which trombones appeared have been discovered by resourceful researchers: for instance, within a divertimento by Michael Haydn, or within a symphony with 3 trombones already composed in 1768 by the Salzburg composer Joseph Krottendorfer. 21 | From trombonists’ perspective, though, Beethoven served their instrument very well, for these Three Equali simply are amongst the few original compositions of that time for solo trombone and an integral part of their repertoire.
