The fourth movement of the symphony, marked "Moderato e maestoso", is in a clear sonata form. The exposition opens with a primary theme in E-flat major; every bar has the same rhythmic pattern and the last beat of each bar ends with a downwards leap of a perfect fifth. An aggressive transitional theme at rehearsal 139 leads, through sequences, to a "grandioso" climax (four bars before rehearsal 142), followed by a new theme in the dominant (B-flat major) at 142, marked "Nobilmente" like the climactic section of the second movement.
