The key of triumph, of Hallelujahs, of war-cries, of victory-rejoicing.
Character
Christian Schubart’s characterization, from Ideen zu einer Ästhetik der Tonkunst (1806), translated by Rita Steblin:
The key of triumph, of Hallelujahs, of war-cries, of victory-rejoicing. Thus, the inviting symphonies, the marches, holiday songs and heaven-rejoicing choruses are set in this key.
