Symphony No. 6 "Sinfonia semplice", (no opus number), FS 116. In August 1924 Danish composer Carl Nielsen began working on a Sixth Symphony, which turned out to be his last. By the end of October he wrote to Carl Johan Michaelsen: The first movement was finished at the end of November while he was in Copenhagen, and the second movement was composed during Christmas. At the end of January 1925 he traveled to the French Riviera with his wife. While he had been in Copenhagen, Nielsen had composed the third movement, but he now had to put the symphony aside to work on a commission for incidental music to ''Ebbe Skammelsen'', which was to be performed at the Open Air Theatre in the deer park. He completed the score immediately before his sixtieth birthday on June 9. When going to Damgaard in the middle of July, Nielsen was able to continue work on his symphony.〔 The last movement was finally completed on December 5, 1925. The first performance was given by the Chapel Royal Orchestra on December 11. The Copenhagen reviewers were confused by the style of the new Symphony. Nielsen had called it Sinfonia semplice (Simple Symphony). Being hard to grasp, it has remained the least performed of all six symphonies.〔 ==Instrumentation== * 2 flutes, 1st flute doubles piccolo * 2 oboes * 2 clarinets in A (later in B flat) * 2 bassoons * 4 horns in F * 2 trumpets in F * 3 trombones (2 tenor, 1 bass) * Tuba * Timpani * Glockenspiel * Xylophone * Triangle * Cymbals * Snare drum * Bass drum * Strings 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Symphony No. 6 (Nielsen)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
