When you mention Symphony No 5, there’s one particular Symphony No 5 that overshadows all other symphonies numbered 5 !

It must be generally admitted that Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is the most sublime noise that ever penetrated into the ear of man . E M Forster.

The fourth movement from #5 has its fans, but movement five from #2 is truly moving.

The Tchaikovski 5th. is also magnificent. Agreed. Do composers reserve number 5 for their best ? I don't know Bruckner's fifth stacks up against these. I never heard it.

It might be a private “in joke”, among Classical Musicians, as the “Fifth” is a very important interval in music and resolves perfectly back to the root. It is known as a “Perfect Cadence” and the interval itself is known as a “Perfect Fifth”. The Diatonic Chord based on the Perfect Fifth is known as the DOMINANT!
OR I might be full of baloney! LOL
LOve ALL Three of the aforementioned Symphonies!

This piece was used at Bobby Kennedy's funeral in 1968.
It's in D-flat, and one of the most amazing moments is at the end when Mahler takes an eternity to resolve that last chord into D-flat. Then we're off (attacca) into the finale in D Major.

All of #2 is amazing. Likewise, the slow finale to #3.

Ravel could have body slammed Mahler any day of the week. And Brahms could have whipped them both together with his left pinky. But nobody messes with JS Bach.

“...Do composers reserve number 5 for their best ?...”
Always been partial to the Beethoven 3rd, Shastakovich 5th, Tchaikovsky 4th, and Brahms 1st. Mahler wrote some of the juciest French Horn passages ever!
Happy Birthday Giovanni Punto!
