Final answer:
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony does not progress from a victorious opening to conflict and struggle.
Step-by-step explanation:
False
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony does not progress from a victorious opening to conflict and struggle. It actually opens with the famous, triumphant four-note motif (known as the Fate motif), which is followed by a more lyrical second theme. The symphony does have moments of tension and drama, but it ultimately resolves into a triumphant and victorious finale.
