An Eastern Lament. Daffodils. Osme's Song

These themes all partake of the character of dance tunes.In the transition of them from the first two to the third, the theme of the preceding movement (No. 1) is introduced; and at the thematic treatment in the middle part, the interlude phrase of the same movement is introduced and worked in imitation in connection with the different subjects of the Finale.Towards the end of the movement in the Coda, the ecclesiastical subject of the fourth movement is introduced in close imitation, accompanied by a figure in the violoncellos, in 6-4 time.A short and festive Stre/to concludes the work brilliantly.[The symphony was first performed at Diisseldorf on February 6, I851.It was introduced into England by Signor Luigi Arditi, who conducted it at a Promenade Concert, Covent Garden Theatre, on December 4, I865.The Crystal Palace followed on February io, I866; the Halle Concerts, Manchester, on February 4, I869; and the Philharmonic Society (London), on April 25, I870.-ED.M.
