70 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 3rd mvt. A false alarm: it was not the traditional Trio section at all, but rather part two of the 0:52
71 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 3rd mvt. Soon, after a very rapid build, the Scherzo proper does reach its final phase. 1:13

80 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. The main theme, part two. A codetta-like passage closes off the march and introduces the ' 1:01

85 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. The hidden traps in sonata-form terminology: 'second main theme' vs. 'second subject' 2:31
86 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. The unexpected entry and subsequent ubiquity of 'Three Blind Mice' 1:23

90 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. Next, they are back with the clarinets, now joined by pizzicato violas, who pass them back 0:18
91 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. Now they return to the high winds, delicately trilling. 0:15
92 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. Relief, at last: the mice back off, making way for a reminder of the main theme from the t 0:34
93 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. The mice yield to woodpeckers (clarinets); the main theme (or its opening gambit) is now d 1:07

95 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. Reminders of past movements begin to fly by, thick and fast, sometimes very fast. 0:28
96 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. In fact there are three bits of quotation going on here simultaneously. 0:23
97 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. The violas react every time the 'Goin' Home' theme is quoted by the winds. 0:13
98 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. The rhythm of the opening of the 'Goin' Home' theme dominates, transformed by trumpets and 0:35
99 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. The march theme reappears as a Mendelssohnian fairy; the main theme from the first movemen 1:55
100 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. We reach an interesing point: have we heard the beginning of the recapitulation, or not? 1:05
101 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. Perhaps this is it? Back for a reminder of the theme proper, as we first heard it 1:41
102 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. Tovey places the start of the recapitulation here. 1:27
103 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. The main theme recast in pathetic rather than heroic terms - and with magical scoring 1:51
104 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. This unexpected crisis in confidence plays a major role in the overall dramatic impact of 1:49
105 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. The main theme returns - not complete, but chopped up into shorter and shorter fragments. 1:30
106 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. A glorious thematic stew; high drama, a powerful build-up...but then? 0:56
107 An Introduction to Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, Narration with Musical Examples: 4th mvt. The dramatic highpoint of the movement, an astonishing transformation, but first, back to 1:26
