I don't think I'd go as far as saying it's a masterpiece, but on the evidence of these two movements it's certainly a fine, rather noble, piece. Thanks, Reverie.

I agree, it's a fine movement. I would really like to know how it stands in relation to the rest of the symphony. Can the rest be as good, I wonder, and will it all form a unified composition?

Another highly convincing movement. Thank you so much for all your work on this. Looking forward to the finale...

It's been a laborious task but worthwhile to unearth such a fine symphony. I hope August is smiling from upon high  :)

Alan Howe

Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for all your hard work on this magnificent symphony.

Mark Thomas

Yes, it really is a strong, strong work. What a discovery, thank you so much.

Thank you for working so hard on this project!!    Its really nice to know that we finally have the technology to bring these long lost scores to life.

Reverie

Thanks all. There are now a full set of parts to this symphony. If anyone knows any small regional orchestras who would like to put on a performance just send me a PM. I could send the digital / printable copies over.

Alan Howe

May I suggest that you contact Martin Anderson at Toccata Classics, using this contact form:

...and sending him links to your renditions of the four movements of the symphony.

Yes that was I noticed when inputting the Zolotarev Symphony.  There are now a full set of parts to this symphony.

Mark Thomas

There are now plans to record this fine symphony, see here.
