I have very fond memories of taking a part in performing this work - Dunedin 1979

[@ArnoArtner]

very unusual harmonic colors/progressions for the time! great work

[@afischer8327]

Wonderful, and more robust than Mendelssohn. It sounds like a link between Beethoven and Nielsen.

Contemporary to Schumann's symphonies. Full of catchy repetitive motifs. Quite surprising for the time! Another symphony of the same period that is worth listening to: Louise Farrenc, Symphony nr 3 (1847): th-cam.com/video/yv3LXXlmwNs/w-d-xo.html

from 24:00 to 24:15: sounds like a walking and singing little girl...

[@debsdebs5417]

Needs a bit more of an ending though; just suddenly stops!

[@pierrebonnechere7032]

I suppose this was deliberate... But I do not know why. Anyway, it is a big surprise in itself.

I think that's more true of the first movement than the last. I love the unexpected last-minute rescue from the minor mode.

I Like more regueaton and trap
