Allegro moderato," continues the nocturnal theme with a moderato pace, evoking the mysteries of the night. The third movement, "Scherzo. Schattenhaft - Trio," introduces a playful yet shadowy scherzo, followed by a contrasting trio. The fourth movement, "Nachtmusik. Andante amoroso," returns to the night theme with a tender, amorous andante. The symphony concludes with the fifth movement, "Rondo-Finale. Allegro ordinario - Allegro moderato ma energico," bringing the work to a dynamic and energetic close.
