Prince Heinrich XXIV Reuss-Köstritz (1855-1910) (Reuss)

[eschiss1]

Probably not. Symphony 3 has only 3 movements.
1. Poco adagio (followed by fast something?)
2. Andante un poco sostenuto
3. Allegro vivace.

[Alan Howe]

No, it's in four movements, as follows:

1. Poco adagio - Allegro passionato con brio
2. Andante un poco sostenuto (B major)
3. Allegretto un poco mosso  (B minor)
4. Allegro vivace (E minor)

So, what we have on YouTube, as Mark correctly surmises, are the two middle movements. I have just confirmed this from the musical examples given in Stolle's biography, p.248. I have also added a correction to my first post on this symphony.

[eschiss1]

Oh, sorry. Maybe someone should inform Fleisher collection of the discrepancy...

[Alan Howe]

Be my guest...

A commercial recording of the 3rd Symphony was made in 1992, published by Engelsmann Life Records GmbH - whether the above is taken from that recording is not clear.

Was this a private recording? I can't find any mention of it online.

[Alan Howe]

Stolle says that the recording was included in the CD 'Die Silbermann-Orgel auf Schloss Burgk und ihr musikalisches Umfeld' (='The Silbermann Organ at Burgk Castle and its Musical Context').

I imagine that this was a locally produced CD with limited circulation. Maybe only the two middle movements were ever recorded?

Lovely to hear some more beautifully written Reuss. The comments with the youtube are interesting. No there isn't much "sturm und drang" but to be quite honest  I can only listen to so much Mahler these days. This music lowers my blood pressure which can only be a good thing 

[eschiss1]

Ah. A search for the full title of the CD does turn up something, actually...

this has a full contents listing, including

"Andante; Allegro; Presto, aus Dritte Sinfonie e-Moll op. 28 / Heinrich XXIV. j.L. Prinz Reuss."

So yep. (Presto?)

[Justin]

Thank you, Eric. I forgot about Worldcat.

Nobody seems to have mentioned this piano trio

It starts well - I'll see how I feel about it at the end!

[Alan Howe]

It has been mentioned before, here:

But it had passed me by too!

About symphony no.3, I have received an email from the Special Collections Music Curator  at Fleisher (just now) about symphony no.3 confirming the Stolle information (and containing extracts of score that I could save and reupload, the woodwind upper parts of the third movement, and the printed older catalog entry for the symphony):

"An examination of the actual printed score, however, matches the Stolle description you shared. The cataloger missed the third movement starting on page 60 and mislabeled the fourth movement as the third. Thank you for your message. I shall forward information to our cataloging department."

[Alan Howe]

Well done, Eric. A nice correction.
