Title: Symphony in C minor Post by: guest756 on February 21, 2019, 01:01:45 am I'd like to present to you my Symphony in C minor and I would very much appreciate your impressions - thank you! I. Andante /Allegro con brio ed appassionato (C Major / C minor) Structure: 0:01 Andante, a choral, first in solemn C Major by solo horns, later tragically turning into C minor 2:54 Allegro con brio ed appassionato, C minor, 6/8, Exposition 6:33 Development 9:16 Recapitulation 12:57 Coda 14:38 resuming the choral theme 15:07 Presto http://gerdprengel.de/symphony-1.mp3 http://gerdprengel.de/symphony-1.pdf (score) II. Andante cantabile An Andante with 7 variations on the theme which Beethoven sketched for the second movement of his planned 10th symphony in 1825. http://gerdprengel.de/symphony-2.mp3 http://gerdprengel.de/Symphony-2.pdf III. Scherzo Among Beethoven's sketches for a 10th symphony from 1825 there are the opening 24 measures for a Scherzo (titled 'Presto') and the 7 measure theme for a Trio as a middle part of the movement. This Scherzo theme is one of the most furious and powerful Scherzo themes I know, somewhat a mixture of the Scherzo themes of his fith symphony and Schummann's first symphony. I made an atttempt to develop these themes to a whole symphonic movement.

Allegro con spirito The Finale is the most vivid and jubilent movement I wrote so far. In the development (starting at 4:30) more dark and exotic colours come in: http://gerdprengel.de/symphony-4.mp3 Gerd |
