Odd statement

... namely, he was simply too successful a melodist, and melodies are extremely unamenable to symphonic development.

On the face of it, this seems to be completely untrue. -- JackofOz (talk) 07:21, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Content

I think that we should add more musical analysis to this article. -- Dadaszehon —Preceding undated comment added 14:03, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The finale really shows some of the reasons why Sibelius, decades later, admitted to feeling a special kinship with the older Russian master. Both the propulsive use of sequences and the writing for brass and strings here come amazingly close to signature techniques of Sibelius, e.g. in Finlandia and in his early symphonies. 188.150.64.57 (talk) 19:44, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Form: Adagio Cantabile

The statement that this movement is monothematic seems odd. The oboe theme starting in measure 24 is at least a major variation on the opening theme. I might argue that it's unrelated. Beowulf (talk) 18:04, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
