Fantastic movement, keeps you on the edge of your seat. :)

Follow along with some of the musical highlights.

1.	Dvorak, Beethoven, and the Scherzo. Dvorak purposely confuses the listener’s expectations. 00:01:54

2.	Using a little fanfare, Dvorak further builds up expectation before revealing the main theme. 00:00:21

3.	When the theme is revealed, we find that it is not exactly a tune. 00:00:36

4.	Two little bursts of rhythm provide the seeds from which much of the movement grows. 00:00:24

5.	It is the second half of the theme that dominates. 00:00:22

6.	Back to the beginning to hear the whole of this opening section 00:00:48

7.	Without ever being remotely ‘academic’ or ‘intellectual’, there is much counterpoint going on here. 00:00:20

8.	Dvorak’s very Czech love of combining conflicting rhythms, sometimes metres 00:02:31

9.	A clearly transitional passage, obsessed with the rhythmic tag that both opens and closes the theme 00:00:30

10.	Sooner than we may have expected, we seem to have arrived at the Trio section. 00:01:07

11.	A new kind of tone quality sheds a subtly different light on the theme. 00:00:35

12.	The flutes and oboes now chime in with an answering variant of the opening… 00:00:21

13.	… and the cellos and bassoons take up the original version of the theme. 00:00:43

14.	A false alarm: it was not the traditional Trio section at all, but rather part 2 of Scherzo proper 00:00:52

15.	Soon, after a very rapid build, the Scherzo proper does reach its final phase. 00:01:13

16.	The orchestral texture thins dramatically, and we approach what this time really is the Trio section. 00:01:28

17.	The Trio section is reminiscent more of the ‘Old World’ than the ‘New’. 00:00:50

18.	In the second half of the Trio, a new tune emerges, a kind of Slavonic waltz. 00:01:00

19.	The main theme of the Trio returns against a much fuller orchestral background. 00:00:36

20.	Then it is all a matter of repeats, until we reach the coda, which ends with an explosive bang. 00:01:15

21.	Third movement (complete) 00:08:07
