Three Strokes and a Leap

Ludwig van Beethoven · Symphony No. 5, first movement8:27

Da-da-da-DUM. Three strokes of the tail, and a leap.

A small salmon with a notch in her tail swims home, upstream, against everything.

The four most famous notes in music are how she climbs. They are also what hits her.

She is knocked back. She rests. She grows. She goes again.

Watch for

  • A small salmon under a wall of white water
  • A bear stands in the river, seen from below
  • The salmon and a large shadow in deep blue water
  • The falls, step after step
