Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4 in Full Score

Description

These revolutionary works brought a strikingly organic--almost architectural--unity to the symphony that music historians recognized as "far in advance of anything in the classical masters." Austere and intensely concentrated, Sibelius's symphonies of 1907 and 1911 today account for 34 recordings in the current Schwann catalog, with live performances worldwide by major orchestras. New Dover compilation of Symphony No. 3, Op. 52, and Symphony No. 4, Op. 63, originally published respectively by Schlesinger, Berlin, n.d. [1907] and by Breitkopf & H�rtel, Leipzig, 1912. Instrumentation. [9 x 12, 144 pp.]
