What best describes the psychological progression of Symphony No 5 in C Minor?

i'm no expert but the fith symphony is quite political and its the first symphony to weave together the four movements in a clear and coherent manner. having said that i dont believe this symphony is the turning point in Beethovens music, himself or the classical repotoir. i believe it started earlier. but i suppose psychologically it is an early advancement to the 9th symphony and thereafter the birth of the Romantic period. the fith symphony provides the blurring lines and window from the classical period to the rromantic

What is classical and what is romantic in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony?

1. The forms in movements 1, 2, and 4: the first movement is in sonata form, the second is a theme and variations, and the fourth is again in sonata form. The Symphony is clearly Romantic in style and has a Romantic theme. The form in the third movement is scherzo-trio, which is a Romantic innovation derived from the minuet-trio that is commonly associated with the Classical period. Also, there are sudden changes in tempo and mood within each movement. I would not call this a Classical symphony. It sounds too far different than one by Haydn or Mozart.
