This time signature is often associated with a waltz-like feel, with a strong emphasis on the first beat of each measure. Therefore, the third movement of Symphony #5 is likely to have a waltz-like feel with three beats per measure.Rate this question:

Symphony #5 is in which key overall?
Correct Answer
c-
c minorExplanation
Symphony #5 is in the key of c minor. The "c-" notation is a shorthand way of indicating the key signature for c minor, where the "-" symbol represents the minor tonality. In music theory, the key signature determines the set of notes that are used predominantly throughout a piece of music. In this case, c minor indicates that the piece is primarily based on the notes of the c minor scale, giving it a darker and more melancholic sound compared to major keys.Rate this question:
