It's fascinating to compare Goltermann's Symphony with Mirecki's from just a few years later. Although born 33 years earlier, Mirecki (IMHO) produced a much more original work, probably because he wasn't so heavily influenced by the mainstream of Austro-German symphony-writing. Whereas Goltermann looks back to Mendelssohn, Mirecki (in his finale) looks forward to Brahms.
