- Symphony_No._4_(Vaughan_Williams) abstract "The Symphony No. 4 in F minor by Ralph Vaughan Williams was dedicated by the composer to Arnold Bax.Unlike Vaughan Williams's first three symphonies it was not given a title, the composer stating that it was to be understood as pure music, without any incidental or external inspiration. In contrast to many of Vaughan Williams's previous compositions, the symphony displays a severity of tone. The composer himself once observed of it, "I'm not at all sure that I like it myself now. All I know is that it's what I wanted to do at the time." The British composer Sir William Walton admired the work greatly, speaking of it as "the greatest symphony since Beethoven". Only two symphonies of Vaughan Williams end loudly, No.4 and No.8.The work was first performed on 10 April 1935 by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Adrian Boult. Its first recording, made two years later, featured the composer himself conducting the same orchestra in what proved to be his only commercial recording of any of his symphonies. It was released on 78-rpm discs in the U.K. by HMV and in the U.S. by RCA Victor, and has been reissued on LP and CD.The U.S. Premiere was given on 19 December 1935 by Artur Rodzinski and the Cleveland Orchestra. The earliest American performance to have survived in recorded form was the broadcast of 14 March 1943 by the NBC Symphony Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski. It was the only time he conducted the work in his entire career and his performance has been issued on CD by Cala Records. The work is in four movements with the third and fourth linked:AllegroAndante moderatoScherzo : allegro moltoFinale con epilogo fugato : allegro moltoA typical performance takes about 32 minutes. It is scored for a large orchestra including:Woodwinds: 2 or 3 flutes (2nd doubling on piccolo), 2 or 3 oboes (2nd doubling on cor anglais), 2 clarinets (in B♭), bass clarinet (in B♭), 2 bassoons, contrabassoon Brass: 4 horns (in F), 2 trumpets (in C), 3 trombones, tuba Percussion: timpani, triangle, side drum, cymbals, bass drum Strings: strings.↑".
