This symphony written in classical and classical/romantic styles is in memory of the life and works of Goethe and includes quotations at the top of each score.
1st Movement - Largo Maestoso
Goethe frankly said, "What would remain to me if this art of appropriation were derogatory to genius?
Every one of my writings has been furnished to me by a thousand different persons, a thousand things:
wise and foolish have brought me, without suspectaing it, the offering of their thoughts, faculties, and
experience. My work is an aggregation of beings taken from the whole of nature; it bears the name of
Goethe."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Quotation and Originality"
2nd Movement - Langsam mit Gefühl (Slow and with feeling)
"Heiss mich nicht reden" (= Don't ask me to speak)
Variations on Schubert's "Lied der Mignon," D. 877/2
3rd Movement - Allegro
Minuet
Once the Elector of the Palatinate had a fish-ballet performed; there the
carp, dressed in gold and silver scales danced a minuet on their tails.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Letter to Bettina Brentano, Frankfurt, 7 October 1808)
(note - this movement does not contain timpani)
4th Movement - Allegro spiritoso
Finale "Joy still must sorrow, sorrow joy attend" - from Faust
(note this movement contains both timpani and triangle)
