I love this symphony…I danced a wonderful ballet set by John Magnus <3
cello all the way
First violin for this piece. I actually like it at this tempo, it sounds more dramatic and dark this way.
Presto posibile=as fast as possible?
Yep. And they certainly follow that direction! It's great fun to hear.
viola!!
Fantastic! best rendition ever. Thanks for loading
Just got music for this in school.
Time to listen to it nonstop
I think the tunes were composed during Britten's childhood, but he actually wrote the symphony when he was 20-21?
