Topic: Excerpt from my Symphony No. 1

[relm1]

An excerpt of the Adagio from my Symphony No. 1 from 20 years ago.  I am thinking of revising it this year.  Conducted by Valeri Vatchev with the Philharmonia Bulgarica.

I really enjoyed hearing it. To my ears the opening was quite 'Mahlerian' but the music soon goes off in a different direction. Some powerful writing for the brass. An emphatic and atmospheric musical journey. You should definitely persevere with it.

Thanks!  I'm working on Symphony No. 4 but might take some time off from that to revisit this early one.  But I also realize I want to revise No. 3 too!

Very nice. What do you have in mind, as for revising?

Thank you.  Generally structure and fixing some awkward transitions type of things.  Sometimes I went from idea 1 to idea 2 too quickly without letting them flow inevitably types of things.  Basically smoothing out the rough edges that I'm better at solving now then I was back then.
