| | Symphony No. 4 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Von Oppersdorf listened to Beethoven's Symphony No. 2 in D Major, and liked it so much that he offered a great amount of money for Beethoven to compose a new symphony for him. | | | This is especially the case with Symphony No. 4 in B Flat Major, as it contrasts heavily with heroic Symphony No. 3 in E Flat Major and tragic Symphony No. 5 in C Minor. | | | The Symphony No. 4 in B Flat Major by Ludwig van Beethoven, Opus 60 was written in 1806. |

| | Shostakovich's Symphony No. 4 |
| | The present triple concerto opens with a surprise: there is no tutti introduction; instead, the solo violin enters right away with a lyrical melody, repeated in turn by the oboe and the cello. | | | Contemporary reports of the boy's accomplishments are astounding; listeners simply couldn't believe their ears when they heard Wolfgang improvise, sight-read, play the piano, the organ, and the violin with equal mastery. | | | The Cleveland Orchestra recorded Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony in 1942 with Artur Rodzinski and in 1981 with Lorin Maazel. |

| | Whereas, in the case of his earlier symphonies, Mahler had provided his listeners with explanatory introductions or at least given titles to their individual movements, he decided on this occasion that the music of the Fourth Symphony can and must be self-sufficient. | | | Consequently, listeners were not provided with a text of any kind for the Fourth Symphony, with the single exception of the poem set to music in the final movement. | | | This song was initially intended to form part of the monumental edifice of the Third Symphony, where it was to appear under the title 'Was mir das Kind erzählt' (What the Child Tells Me), having already furnished part of the melodic material of the symphony's fifth movement. |

| | Though he was to complete eight numbered symphonies (and two that he withheld), and a considerable amount of choral and sacred music, but was to write rather less music than his seventy-two years would justify. | | | The Fourth Symphony was first completed in 1874, but the composer later viewed it as a first draft, and extensively revised it in 1880, with further minor modifications in 1886. | | | And Gramophone magazine chose his previous recording with the Irish orchestra, the Second Symphony, as, "an exceptional record", and made it an 'Editors Choice' for the month. |

| | Belle Epoque - Mahler: Symphony No. 4 |
| | The scherzo lets us think of the third movement of the Second Symphony, but it is way less mocking and ironic, rather grotesque and burlesque, marked especially by the shrill solo violin but once in a while broken by the mysterious dark beauty of the clarinet solos. | | | After the beautiful First Symphony and the two enormous works of the Second and Third Symphony where the exhaustive climax is formed by the sixth movement of the Third, I get the impression that Mahler himself has reached a sort of final point. | | | Waking up the audience in a rather rude way out of the third movement's dreams, Mahler returns to the burlesque and the symphony ends in the folk song manner which often is typical for the composer. |

| | This symphony is different from its predecessors in that it is very much composed with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra - as opposed to a full-strength symphony orchestra - in mind. | | | After Black Pentecost (1979), a 'symphony with voices', the Symphony No. 2 was completed in 1980, followed by Symphony No.3 in 1984. | | | Just as the Symphony No.1 had fulfilled Davies's previous orchestral music, the Symphony No.4, a large-scale work in four movements played without a break, capped all of his previous chamber-orchestral music. |

| | Notes on Symphony no. 4 (Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky) |
| | If the Fourth Symphony is merely an echo of Tchaikovsky's experience, it is an echo of enormous expressive power. | | | The finale suggests the "merriment of the people" through the use of a pervasive folk melody, as well as as break-neck tempo that ensures a rousing, edge-of-the-seat conclusion. | | | The tonally complex first movement, in particular, stands as one of his greatest achievements, interweaving an intricate harmonic plan with a waltzing main theme. |

| | Thus the symphony drives to its conclusion, forward-thrusting yet measured, always new in detail yet organically unified, stern, noble, and with that sense of inevitability that marks the greatest music. | | | The American premiere was conducted by Walter Damrosch with the New York Symphony on December 11, 1886. | | | When he writes a passacaglia—which must have seemed sheer madness to the up-to-date Wagnerians—he does so like a man composing living music, with no dust of antiquarianism about it. |

| | This symphony is composed from some of the music that haunted and pursued me each year as I walked alone over mountains and remote moor. | | | This brings the body of the symphony to an emphatic close, leaving us with a fading image of that transcendent vision, which subsides into the echoes of the moor and those cuckoos in the glens, which in turn fade away into the distance. | | | This music, the product of some of the remotest and most serious hikes I've undertaken, forms the heart of the symphony, for which movements 1 and 2 can now be seen as mere preludes. |

| | Program Notes, Symphony No. 4 |
| | The music is, itself, easy to listen to, and that perhaps is why the Fourth is one of the most played of all the Mahler Symphonies. | | | Commentators often characterize this as Mahler's most accessible symphony; or as Mahler's break with the Wunderhorn period, afterwards becoming polyphonic in his writing; or as Mahler's most classical symphony; or as childlike and innocent; or some combinations of these elements. | | | The reason may well be that Mahler composed the fourth movement first, the Wunderhorn song Das himmlische Leben, in 1892, at the time he was reworking his First Symphony, well before he started to work on the earlier moverments; the Symphony No. 4, was not completed until 5 August 1900. |
