Per the publisher of the recently issued score, the 3rd movement Scherzo has no other tempo designation.

Why are so many wonderful pieces of music not available on CD? I love "having" them rather than just having access to them. Of course, it's better to hear it on KZfaq than not hear it at all, so, thanks for uploading.

A really beautiful Symphony from a great talented artist, ten years elder than Smetana who collaborated with him. Unfortunately he had a nervous breakdown at 36 and never recovered, dying still young. Curiously, like Smetana number four is in all his dates. For sure he could have still written great things like this symphony. Third movement is at fantastic, Dvorakian level, and all this Symphony really makes me thinking to beloved Prague. An huge thank you for sharing.

Magnifique Merci Kuhlau Vilém Blodek est né dans une famille pauvre et fait ses études dans une école allemande des Clercs réguliers de la Mère de Dieu pour les écoles pies à Prague. Après des études avec Alexander Dreyschock (piano) et au conservatoire de Prague (1846-1952) avec Antonín Eiser (flûte) et Jan Bedřich Kittl (composition), il devient professeur de musique privé à Lubycza, en Galicie (1853-1855). De retour à Prague, il travaille comme pianiste de concert, chef de chœur, professeur de musique et, brièvement, comme deuxième chef d’orchestre de la chorale de Prague, pour laquelle il a écrit des chœurs patriotiques. En 1860, il succède à Eiser comme professeur de flûte au conservatoire et il rédige son propre manuel de flûte (1861). Il est actif en tant que compositeur de musique de scène pour les théâtres allemands et tchèques : à partir de 1858, il écrivit de la musique pour 60 pièces et collabore avec Bedřich Smetana sur la musique des célébrations de William Shakespeare en 1864. En 1865, il épousa son élève Marie Doudlebská. Le surmenage a provoqué une dépression nerveuse et, après un passage dans un hôpital psychiatrique en 1870, il y est retourné définitivement en mai 1871. Œuvres Sextuor à vent (1847) Concerto en ré majeur pour flûte et orchestre (1862) Musique pour images en direct (1864) Symphonie en ré mineur (1866)

The coda of the last movement is everything a Romantic symphony should be. It leaves the listener completely satisfied.

There must have been, at least at those times, an ambiance, an aura in the atmosphere of that lovely region of Europe, Bohemia, the southern of Deutschland, Österreich that inebriated its inhabitants with its natural beauty where Mother Nature shed her grace upon the geography of the region and all its living creatures making it possible to create these works of art. This lovely music produces the impression that there is a dialogue going on between the composer and Mother Nature. Exquisite symphony. It makes me dream of beautiful and pleasant landscapes, cordial and harmonious conviviality.

This is a very pleasing work indeed. It reminds me of the early Dvorak symphonies, of which I am particularly fond. There's an over-arching of sweetness coupled with silvery light that is enchanting. A gentle work most certainly.

Compositori Cecchi. Czechoslovakia as a state was founded in 1918, this year we celebrate the 100th aniversary. Czechoslovakian nation was a political construction of the founder and the first president of Czechoslovakia Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. In 1993 Czechoslovakia splitted down into 2 sovereign states: Czech republic and Slovakia.

В этой симфонии Вилема Блодека, несмотря на начальное повествование в миноре (беда, несчастье), в конце звучит ликующий мажор (благополучие, победа) - почти все симфонии Великих романтиков, и не только романтиков, ощущали это в душе. Пускай подсознательно - но ощущали! А иначе их нельзя было бы назвать Христианами ! Они в музыке сумели передать Слова Христа:" Вера твоя спасла тебя!" Теппер Михаил.

Charming symphony. But in as much as this symphony is identified as having been written in 1859, and young Dvorak didn't write his first symphony until 1865, it probably shouldn't be described as being in "the Dvorak vein." Perhaps Dvorak's influences weren't only Brahms and Wagner....

It's sad to think that such buoyant music could have been penned by a composer who was afflicted with the same emotional anguish as Robert Schumann. I'm not being sarcastic when I note that it's a shame Europeans didn't know about the uplifting benefits of Matcha green tea back in the 19th Century.
