4/6 The 7th Symphony (Color Analysis)

I must confess, the 7th symphony is not my favorite of Beethoven's 9 symphonies. It's a ROCKER, to be sure, but I don't know - it sounds a little too much like heavy metal music to my ears...;)
That 2nd movement Allegretto though is sublime, no matter how many movies, TV commercials and videogames use it to spice up their scores...
