Full score for Carl Nielsen's Symphonic Rhapsody (1888). Corresponding to The Carl Nielsen Edition Vol. 8. This allegro movement for symphony orchestra composed in 1888 when Carl Nielsen was in his early twenties was originally conceived as the first movement of a symphony as is evident from the autograph title Symfoni on the first page of music of the ink fair copy. However Carl Nielsen never composed the whole symphony. On 26th February 1893 when the piece was given its first performance conducted by Victor Bendix it was as an independent movement. Two days before the first performance Carl Nielsen noted in his diary: “To a rehearsal ofmy symphonic movement for the People’s Concert. The piece has been given the title ‘Symphonic Rhapsody’. It sounds fine and although it now seems naive to me there is still so much of my own and such a good attitude in the piece that I think it is rather good all the same.” (Thomas Michelsen editor)

Symphony No.5 Op.50 was composed by Carl Nielsen in 1922. Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) was a Danish musician often seen as his country’s greatest composer. While his operas and songs have become embedded in the cultural heritage of his native Denmark internationally he is better known for his symphonies and concertos – distinguished by his prominent use of Brass instruments and dramatic changes in tonality. His Symphony No.5 (Op. 50 FS. 97) was composed in 1922 and is often seen as his “War Symphony” despite the composer denying any such direct influence. Strangely it is formed ofonly two movements and does not have any title. Often said to be a modernist piece it is constantly restless some would say pulsating. Brought to fame by Leonard Bernstein in 1962 scholars and musicians are still trying to understand this enigmatic work.

This is the full score for Carl Nielsen's Symphony No. 4 The Inextinguishable the composer's most popular and most frequently recorded and performed work. Although Carl Nielsen's Symphony No. 4 was completed in 1916 and although it prominently features a thundering duel between timpani the composer did not write this work in response to World War I. Instead it is a noisy energetic thrusting paean to the inextinguishability of life itself. And as music like life in this instance is inextinguishable the four intricately interlinked movements are played without a break. In this work can be heardthe influences of Brahms Dvorak Sibelius and others all transformed by Nielsen's creative spirit. The symphony ends in grand Romantic style with a triumphant finale wherein the jagged two-note and three-note themes of the beginning are conquered by the songlike theme of the third movement.
