The most inspired Slow movements
What do you think are the most inspired orchestral slow movements ever?
Come to think but of a few:
Beethoven: 9th symphony 3rd mvmnt
Elgar: Enigma variations, Nimrod
Schumann: 2nd symphony 3rd movement
Schubert: Unfinished 2nd movement
Bruckner: 7th symphony 2nd movement
Mahler: 10th Symphony adagio

Does the Romance from Wieniawski's second concerto count here? I mean, there's an orchestra there, somewhere...

Terotero, by inspired slow movements, do you mean where the composer was inspired, or what we the listener find inspiring?

ChamberNut,
Good point...but I will ask you does it make any difference?...an inspired work is inspiring it is the magic of art (from heart to heart).

Beethoven - Symphony No. 6 Pastoral 2nd mvt
Bruckner - Symphony No. 4 Romantic, 2nd mvt
Mahler - Symphony No. 5, 4th mvt. Adagietto
Mozart - Clarinet Concerto 2nd mvt

The most inspired Slow movements
Mahler: Symphony No. 5 Adagietto (You dementics ;o) anybody remembered this one of the most famous slow movements ever?)
Bruckner 4, 5, 7, 8. They all are heartbreaking ;,-(
Chopin both piano concertos slow movements, why not Grieg also..
Opera intermezzo's like Manon Lescaut, Tosca, Adriana Lecouvreur, etc. so many...

Dear ChamberNut,
I throw myself on my knees before You Senior Member! *doing worshipping gestures*. Can You ever accept my deepest apologies ;o).
Must confess, I read all too quickly that list and erroneously saw there was mentioned Symphony No. 4 (while it was the 4th mvmnt). Sorry for that. So tomorrow I'll have to contact my optician to give me a new pair of looking glasses
