very very difficult to say lol. picking a symphony is hard enough...

I think it's a toss-up between the finale of Beethoven's Eroica, where the descending theme is overlayed really slowly over the melody because it's such a good moment of everything coming together and suddenly making so much sense; or the moment in Beethoven's 5th where the brass first enters in the 3rd movement, because the lower strings just built up so much tension and it's suddenly released and it feels so satisfying
