    ORCHESTRA: Malmo Symphony Orchestra
    I decided to create a new score video, since my previous one had only a single page per slide (this one has 2). I chose another recording of Ehrling's, one which I prefer to the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic's version.
    Atterberg's preface: 00:00
    I: Soldis. Lento. 00:05
    II: Storm. Con fuoco. 7:33
    III: Sommarnatt. Adagio. 18:40
    Atterberg's preface to the symphony reads as follows:
    "The symphony depicts, in a free form, different aspects of the Swedish west coast. The first movement 'Sunshine' attempts to give the atmosphere of the sea on a still day, suffused with sunlight, when the mist obscures the horizon and a slow ground swell is all that stirs the utter calm of the sea. The movement opens with a motive in thirds, fourths and fifths which in its rising and falling reflects the unresting spirit of the sea. This motive forms an important accompanying figure in the 2nd movement, and builds the harmonic foundation of the 3rd movement's beginning and end.
    "In the 2nd movement, the 1st motive, development and end aim to express the violent force of a storm over the seaword skerries. The 2nd motive - founded on a Swedish folk song - depicts the fjord, far in where the water lies deep and still, while the sea, far out thunders black and threatening, but unable to ruffle the quiet of the fjord.
    "The 3rd movement, 'Summer Night' is in free form. In the quiet of the evening, only when the ground swell stirs the surface of the sea, the exquisite colours and the endless view over land and sea enchant the eye. As midnight approaches, the colours fade and quiet becomes more intense, until the night-breeze gradually begins to blow - a Scherzando, buillt on a Swedish folk motive. The colours in the north-east grow stronger, the breeze freshens and as the sun rises majestically over the mountains, the cold morning colours become warmer and brighter."
    This video is dedicated to my uncle. RIP.

    I remade this video, because I've grown to prefer this recording. I also wanted to use two-pages-per-slide, as opposed to the original (which was one-page-per-slide), so as to be consistent with the rest of my Atterberg scores; the original version of this video was only the second score video I'd made, so I hadn't developed a good system for video editing yet.
    In addition, I think the cuts between pages are a lot cleaner here, and the resolution goes up to 1080p.

    since I first heard this piece in 2002, I have yet to understand why it is not more popular. Fantastic music

    I'd never heard of Atterberg, but tis is a wonderful piece the final pages of which were profound. His music is always listenable to, but this was terrific! The horn concerto is marvellous and I'm going to learn that. `Does anybody else hear a bit of Sibelius in this composers work?
