When i first heard 1st movement's main subject i was so amazed by it. So I was eager to buy his 2nd symphony. But i could get the cd after 10years of searching in local market. Now it is one of my favorite symphonies.

A wonderful piece. Too bad so many people have heard the beautiful music of Cornelis Dopper!

The key is B minor. The full tempo of the 1st movement is: Andante, molto moderato - Allegro con brio.

素晴らしい。楽しい曲ですね。

[@ikschrijflangenamen]

De eerste drie noten en de laatste drie noten zijn identiek :)

Symphonies 4 and 5 apparently have never been recorded. Somebody, PLEASE!

[@bomcabedal]

+Jk Stevenson The problem is that both only exist in MS, and that No. 5 (the "Sinfonie epica") is a gargantuan affair (of around 150 minutes) that will be very costly to perform.

[@jksteven1]

Really! Thanks for that information. Well, they did Brian's "Gothic." Naxos, where are you?

[@bomcabedal]

+Nate Perkins There is an effort under way to get it performed soon. If that happens, expect a posting here soon after.

@@bomcabedal that only makes me want to hear it more

[@thatpersonsmusic]

@@bomcabedal any updates on that?

[@franciscoparra347]

juguetona. me entretiene mucho esta musica.

[@natesvideos7339]

2nd movement is very fun

[@jcswindle]

Agreed. I heard this today on Hawaii Public Radio. I'm not sure I'd heard variations on "Yankee Doodle" in a minor key before.

Who coined the name "Scottish" for this work? I have the CD and found nothing like this on the cover or in the booklet. The symphony is described as depicting the dutch countryside there. Nice music, btw.

[@bomcabedal]

Dopper used the Scottish Reel _Jenny Nettles_ as the _Idée fixe_ for the symphony, which explains the title. But he could be flexible with such nicknames. Symphony No. 3 was composed in 1898, but only re-christened the _Rembrandt_ because of the large-scale Rembrandt festivities of 1908.

@@bomcabedal Thank you, the theme is indeed hard to miss in the 2nd movement (if you know the tune). Strange enough Leo Samama missed this (and the byname) completely in the booklet of the Bamert recording.
