Jochum on the significance of the "staccato" arrowhead marking in the Scherzo: "the "staccati" must be very short, like a tapping. There must be something eerie about the whole. At the second tempo marking ("significantly slower"), a really high-spirited Upper Austrian peasant dance strikes up: here the crotchets marked with an arrow-head should be rather short and playfully marked, each note given a slight accent. In the Trio, too, especially in the "piano" section, the accents must be brief, light, and effervescent. The arrow-heads indicate actual "staccati" here: the quavers notes on flutes and first violins before Letter A must be very light, dainty, and short. On the other hand, in the cello and double bass descent directly after Letter A, the arrow-heads signify a rounded line, and the notes marked with such must sound with audible vibrato and not be too short."
