Death knell music
Beethoven's fifth symphony is a struggle against fate, but it can also be compared to the oppression of the poor by the rich. The first two moves, the momentum of the rich. In the third movement, the poor began to rise. In the fourth movement, although the rich were still clamoring, they were basically trampled by the poor.

Schubert's Death and Maiden is Schubert's string quartetNo. 14 in D minor.

Just like a small musical: in the prelude to the piano, death walks up to the girl in silence. The deep sound zone and dark harmony are the portrayal of death. Facing the approaching death threat, the girl exclaimed: the accompaniment played a rapid rhythm, reflecting the girl's inner panic and fear. When she sang "I am still young", there were two small steps in the melody, which showed the girl's aversion to death and her prayer for life. However, her resistance was weak. Cold death then sang a song to lure her to sleep, with the same tone as the death knell, especially the tonic ending in a low octave, which fully reflected the cruelty and sinister death. The innocent girl had to give in to death. This is a protest against death, and it also reflects that in Schubert's era, the weak citizen class could not get rid of the powerful feudal dark forces despite their efforts to resist. Therefore, this is also a tragedy of a specific era, as if it were Schubert's own autobiographical elegy. (It can also be compared to the poor and the rich)
