34. Theme from 6th Symphony (Pathetique)

This is a sight-reading exercise. The technical difficulty level is not that high, but it requires some sophistication regarding timing, since it is 5/4. I teach my students iambic pentameter, and I swear this time signature always makes me think of that. That's kind of what it is. I could set a Browning poem or Shakespeare sonnet to it, probably.
