Serenade for Strings in E Major, Op. 22 - V. Finale - Allegro vivace (第五乐章 终曲 - 活泼的快板)-London Philharmonic Orchestra/Christopher Hogwood

The fifth movement is a lively, offbeat finale, conveying the spirit of a Bohemian village dance. The principal theme is a descending figure based on thirds with accents on weak beats. More thematic material enters at bar 32 as the violins and cellos trade calls and responses over running eighths in the violas. A third theme based primarily on sixteenth-note upbeats appears at bar 87. A wistful recollection of the melody from the preceding Larghetto appears and then diminuendos away. The movement's recapitulation starts with the main theme, followed in turn by the second and third themes. A 20-bar eighth-note passage leads into a quotation of the first movement's theme, bringing the piece full circle. A presto coda follows, and the Serenade ends with three E major chords.
