Sgambati's Second Symphony from the Italian magazine "Amadeus"

[rosflute]

regarding the question of the tonality:

This symphony is indeed generally referred to as being in E flat minor, although overall only a small proportion of the work is in the minor key [for which orchestral players are grateful!] and I have never referred to it as being in E flat Major.
The structure of the work is based on a 'fight' between the major 3rd and the minor 3rd and so, in 2006 when I published this work for the first time, it seemed appropriate to name it with the tonal centre but WITHOUT the addition of the defining words 'major' or 'minor'.
