Reminiscent of the great Hartmann 4th symphony from 1947.

From 7.00 and elsewhere is the strings writing from Shostakovich 4 first movement.

Sean, that's an interesting observation. However, Persichetti #5 was written in the early 1950s and Shostakovitch #4, composed in the mid 1930s, didn't get performed or recorded until the early 1960s. Doubtful that Vinny would have known the Shosty work.
