What is the most unifying musical factor in the Fifth Symphony?

I'm going to assume you mean Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. The most unifying factor of Beethoven's fifth is the cyclical nature of the multi-movement piece. It features a reoccuring motif that is rhythmic rather than melodic. The recognizable rhythm: short, short, short, long, is a rhythm that exists all throughout the symphony (which is very strange and at the time, unprecedented). Most movements of a symphony are not connected. Beethoven used his Fifth Symphony to bridge the gap between movements. In arguably every movement of the Fifth (a little less in the 2nd movement) one can hear this unifying rhythm that connects the symphony nicely.

How many notes are there in Beethoven's 9th symphony?

The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 "Choral" is the final complete symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven. Completed in 1824, the symphony is one of the best known works of the Western classical repertoire, and has been adapted for use as the European Anthem. It is considered one of Beethoven's masterpieces and one of the greatest musical compositions ever written.


What is Beethoven's legacy?

Beethoven's legacy to the Western World was his new musical ideas no one had tried before like adding choral voices to the orchestra in the last movement of his ninth symphony. He is also inspiring because even though he couldn't hear, he could still write music. there is some extra info ;)

Which musical characteristic of Beethoven's symphonies is the most moving to the listener?

You would have a choice of rhythmic drive which does impress listeners. Motivic unity also impresses the listener. There is a lot of psychological progression in all Beethoven's works and I believe that it is the most moving. The rhymic drive is heard first in his symphonies, the motivic unity is by the end of the opening movements and the psychological progression comes after all the symphony's movements have been experienced.
