The last movement of Beethoven's Fifth is the first time the piccolo and contrabassoon were used in a symphony. [41] While this was Beethoven's first use of the trombone in a symphony, in 1807 the Swedish composer Joachim Nicolas Eggert had specified trombones for his Symphony No. 3 in E ♭ major. [42]

In fact the first recording of Beethoven's "Fifth" was three years earlier, by Friedrich Kark and the Odeon Symphony Orchestra in Berlin in 1910. [2] Both the Kark and Nikisch recordings were cut in performance and the first fully and wholly complete recording of Beethoven's Fifth was only made by Albert Coates around 1920.
The third paragraph says that the symphony "was given" the nickname "Schicksals-Sinfonie," putting it in the same nickname-bearing category as the 3rd and 5th. This is incorrect. The "Eroica" and "Pastorale" nicknames were assigned by the composer, whereas any nicknames for the 5th were made up by publishers, critics, etc.

By 1837, Liszt appears to have completed the transcriptions of the fifth, sixth and seventh symphonies, of which the fifth and sixth were published by Breitkopf & Härtel and the seventh by Tobias Haslinger. In 1843, he arranged the third movement of the Third Symphony, which was later published by Pietro Mechetti in 1850.
The latter illustrates Beethoven's increasing interest in 'motivic saturation' (in the first movement of the 1st quartet in F major) and juxtaposition of strikingly different moods (in the Finale of the 6th quartet in B-flat major, subtitled 'La malinconia'), the latter of which is a precursor to similar explorations in his late period.

Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 5 is a first-period composition, anticipating more notable C minor works such as the Pathétique Sonata and the Fifth Symphony in its nervous energy. Like all three sonatas of his Op. 10, it is dedicated to Anna Margarete von Browne, the wife of one of Beethoven's patrons, a Russian diplomat in Vienna. [1]
