Talk:Symphony No. 5 (Nielsen)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

After Nielsen's death, an edition of this symphony was published- edited by his close relative and violinist friend (dedicatee of the concerto, if memory serves) Telmányi and by another also- in which several indications were dropped, including that in which the percussion were asked to attempt to break up the texture, I believe (will check the more recently published critical edition, which restores Nielsen's original thoughts. The history here is somewhat interesting actually...) Schissel | Sound the Note! 13:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

The conductor Erik Tuxen and Emil Telmanyi made a large number of revisions and alterations for the published score of 1950; until the recent appearance of the critical edition one had to track down the original long out-of-print 1927 score to know what Nielsen intended, though there are also ambiguities that the first score does not address. --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 13:33, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orchestration

I don't believe the score includes contrabassoon but I will have to check and get back to you on this. --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 13:34, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
