For people who is not familiar with the score, this might be an interesting way of reading the piece.

Was talking about 6-4 chord to a friend the other day and mentioned that one of Beethoven's symphony slow movement started with a prolonged 64 chord.  I was pretty sure it is a movement of the 7th Symphony, but the 2nd movement 'Allegretto' tempo indication almost made me missed it.

Here is the analysis of the opening from bar 3-18.
Beethoven, Ludwig Van. Symphoine No. 7 a minor op. 92. Urtext Edited by J. Del Mar. Bärenreiter. Kassel: 2001
