Like any traditional Scherzo, Abraham explains that this too has a Trio section that begins at measure 218 (letter D). This starts out in E major with an apparently new and distinctive trumpet melody (the timpani reinforcing the rhythm), though quickly changes to B major (bassoon and horns). This section is characterized by this new melodic material, which develops what was heard earlier and is also closely related to material from the A-group. This section can also be considered developmental as this melody is passed around the orchestra in a quasi-fugal manner. Other musicologists have analysed these Scherzo and Trio sections very differently.
