It seems as if there are many GMGers who love a good ol symphony, so here are the four that Rangström wrote over the course of 22 years (1914-1936 according to Grove) for you to choose your favourite.

2 and 4.

I'd vote for four for now.
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

I went for No. 1 for its sheer raw passion, excitement and expression.
