Cathedral / Schiller Memorial / Memorial Church / Old Museum National Gallery / River Spree & Bridge
Berlin Cathedral, once a monument to the Hohenzollern dynasty, has undergone various changes before assuming its present neo-baroque form. Damaged in the war, it has been restored, with various changes, including the removal of the Hohenzollern mausoleum. The Catholic Cathedral of St. Hedwig was built by royal permission after the Silesian war, to provide a place of worship for people from Silesia, then absorbed into Prussia. The building is modelled on the Roman Pantheon. The monument to the poet and playwright Schiller stands in the Gendarmenmarkt, in front of the Konzerthaus, removed by the National Socialists but restored after the war. The statue of Schiller is surrounded by allegorical figures representing other arts. The Memorial Church (Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedachtniskirche) was consecrated in 1895, but destroyed by the bombing in 1943.The damaged tower remains with the new Memorial Hall at its foot. This last is illuminated through wall of colored glass panels set in reinforced concrete. At the heart of berlin is Museum Island, land surrounded by the River Spree and its tributaries. The old Museum there is surmounted by figures of the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux. In front of the nearby National Gallery is a statue of Friedrich Wilhelm IV, who abdicated in 1861. As with other great cities, Berlin too is built by an important river, the Spree, crossed by various important bridges. These include the Schlossbrucke, with its statues of figures from classical antiquity, including Nike and Athena. These and the bridge itself were created by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the mid-19th century.
The Music:
The symphony continues with a Scherzo and Trio, the first of these briefly introduced before the entry of the horns with a rhythmic figure that echoes the opening of the work. The repeated Scherzo is followed by a linking passage before the C major outburst, reinforced now by piccolo, double bassoon and three trombones, that starts the sonata-form finale, with its reminiscences of the Scherzo and extended coda.
Symphony No. 5 (with No. 6 ‘Pastoral’)
