I've heard this music described in retrospect as "discount Brahms/Dvorak" by some people who don't know any better... In all actuality, this is a shining example of a distinctly Hungarian late-romantic soundscape, along with some of Bartók's early works which are also severely under-appreciated like the Kossuth symphonic poem and the Suite Op. 3. My orchestration teacher had the audacity to describe the Kossuth symphony as a one-word adjective because it's not "stereotypical" Bartók... I sincerely recommend you to check it out - specifically the studio recording by the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, because all of the others just don't cut it.

Beautiful work! This compoer's style reminds me a bit of Tchaikovsky, and if course, from that comes great melodies :)

Weiner was correct. This is not a symphony. It is a serenade, and a very fine one at that. It is delightful and entertaining and perfectly crafted. The sequence of musical events evinces an integral logic that is solid.
