Great composition, there are great themes for each part (movement), great cicle of 5ths, amazing harmony, the way the metals fuse with the woods, introduction of the "folkloric elements ""the street sounds"...this composer is a tonal genius, a master of creating complex popular songs ...alban berg and schoenberg are something very different....more like scholars and creators of non defined tonalities...not like kurt weil. There are tonalities. there is always a political element in his works...the song of the lower classes that struggle...dear critics, more education and less ignorance pls. This man was one of the masters of the lied that only Schubert and few others can be compared to....but kurt weils' melodies are extremely profound and deep in the soul....
Fascinating piece. Weill wrote it more or less concurrently with the "The Seven Deadly Sins" (1933), and there are definite thematic echoes between the symphony's first movement and the ballet's "Pride" number.
Stravinsy noted similarity of this music with Shostacovic's opera 'Lady of M. District...' , Str. did not like neither of them. I like it, has a kind of mozartian dramatic spirit (?)
Weird and Gothic. In the wonderful 2nd movement are they marching or trudging? And do I hear Schmidt and Dohnanyi? All rather minor key and warped and frightening. And in the last movement it sounds martial.
I try hard to like Weill's music, but usually end up being disappointed by it, as I am in this case. It is so much less interesting than what Schoenberg, Berg or even Krenek were doing around the same time. And I could mention several others.
? I would go on to say that of rBecht's musical collaborators Weill was by far the least interesting, very much inferior to Hanns Eisler and (especially) Paul Dessau.
I've loved this piece for about 40 years. You can sing it all the way through.
A brilliant symphony. One of the greatest pre-war German symphonies.
I think symphonic music from the past gets about as much credit as it deserves.
A masterpiece that has not been given enough credit!

Man glaubt aus dieser wunderbaren Musik schon die Angst und Verzweiflung

I agree with you about the Mozartian spirit.
reminds of shostakovich

Not to me!

Quoting an authority suggests a lack of confidence in one's own belief.
While undignified and lacking in honor, it, at least, attempts a thematically natural cadence.
grow up
@@Marcel_Audubon Pardon?
@@fourscoreand9884 I said, "Grow up."
@@Marcel_Audubon Oh, thanks for explaining that. Well done; feel better?
How is it possible for music to be “lacking in honor “?- seems like an extra-musical issue.
