III (Trio). Trio. Im gleichen Tempo

Anton Bruckner · 1875–78 · B♭ major · 148 bars · 156 chords analysed

Bruckner's Fifth is a cathedral of a symphony: it begins with a slow pizzicato introduction and ends with a huge double fugue that brings back the first movement's themes. Bruckner, a devout organist, never heard it played by an orchestra.
