"The unusual character of the G-minor Symphony is established in the first bar of the Allegro molto. The violas offer a brief but quietly restless introduction-or as Neal Zaslaw describes it, "an accompaniment waiting for a tune to accompany"-to the rhythmically propulsive first theme, which remains piano for sixteen bars, a rare occurrence in classical symphonies. Chromaticism flavours the melodies and harmonic structure of the entire piece. The second theme appears in the relative major key of B-flat in the exposition, but stays fixed in the tonic minor in the recapitulation, maintaining the dark mood to the end of the movement. In a musical sleight-of-hand at the recapitulation, the first theme slips in before the expected accompaniment, and we hear that familiar melody as from a different perspective, with a plaintive countermelody from the bassoon deepening its meaning."
