Fortunate to have met him, and to have heard the 3rd Symphony in performance, as well as several other of his orchestral works.

Love Lutoslawski's work reconciling atemporality with large ensembles

Possibly my favorite symphony every written (impossible to say, but i love it). In my composition lessons in college, every other lesson we'd spend time analyzing scores/listening to pieces...I brought the score to this symphony more than anything else. I got it through interlibrary loan maybe 10 times over a couple years. Thanks for this post.

Can someone time stamp the three movements?

[@philipconnelly1505]

Although the symphony runs continuously, Lutoslawski described it as being in two movements. The first a slow, introductory movement, and the second, a faster, developmental movement starting at 10:49. Hope that helps!

There are certainly Sounds....and much Effort to put it all together....Is it Music? Or Beautiful? Really hard to say......Cheers from Acapulco!

[@Philhamm]

It is music. Hope this helps.
