The Adagio refers directly to Mozart's Adagio h-Moll fur Klavier KV 540. Goehr's Adagio at first follows the harmonic and motivic events of the original, while the repetitions of the two parts allow latitude for own variations and developments. The tempo increases, texture and sound are getting denser. Against the background of the original work by Mozart, Goehr draws a musical self-portrait in a subtly differentiated instrumentation, based on his own understanding.

Composed in 2015, Stabat Mater was commissioned by the Genesis Foundation for Harry Christophers and The Sixteen. Scored for mixed chorus and string orchestra, it is a long-awaited sequel to the early masterpiece Seven Last Words from the Cross (1993), for the same forces; indeed, the later work begins with the pianissimo 'dying breaths' with which the earlier score so unforgettably closes. Cast in four movements, Stabat Mater has a duration of 53 minutes. Following the premiere London's Financial Times commented that the composer speaks of a 'painful world of loss, violence, and spiritual desolation'. Both sides of MacMillan are to be found here, the devotional and the painter of bold, dramatic canvases - the former in the ethereal writing for solo and ensemble voices, the latter in the lacerating blows and feverish anxieties depicted in the string ensemble..

Als Johannes Brahms im Jahre 1876 seine 1. Sinfonie der Offentlichkeit vorstellte, war dies ein lang erwartetes Ereignis. Zwar war der Komponist schon eine geraume Zeit beruhmt und hatte sich in fast allen musikalischen Gattungen hervorgetan: er hatte Klaviersonaten, Lieder, Konzerte sowie Orchester- und Chorwerke (u.a. das Deutsche Requiem) vorgelegt und mit drei Streichquartetten Beitrage zu einer Gattung geliefert, die seit Beethovens spaten Quartetten als kunstvollste und intimste musikalische Gattung uberhaupt galt. Nur eine Sinfonie hatte er noch nicht komponiert, denn er gehorte zu den Komponisten, denen die Schwierigkeit bewusst war, mit einem sinfonischen Werk gegenuber dem Beethovenschen Erbe bestehen zu konnen.Giselher Schubert schildert diese Umstande in diesem Buch und verdeutlicht, dass ein selbstkritischer Komponist, wie es Brahms ausgepragt war, sich so lange Zeit schwer tun musste, bis er glaubte, den Erwartungen von Freunden und Fachleuten entsprechen zu konnen. Er beschreibt neben der Entstehungsgeschichte dieser Sinfonie, der schon bald der Beiname die Zehnte (Beethovens) gegeben wurde, die Quellenlage, gibt kommentierend die Reaktionen auf die ersten Auffuhrungen wieder und stellt Betrachtungen an zu einer Analyse des Werkes. Anregungen zur weiteren Beschaftigung mit dieser Sinfonie geben in einer Auswahl Literaturverzeichnis und eine Diskographie. Anhand der vollstandig wiedergegebenen Partitur kann der Leser den Notentext beim Horen verfolgen und die analytischen Kommentare nachvollziehen.
