Thanks. I rather thought it hadn't been digitised.

A few libraries have the 2nd Symphony in C op. 78 (Allegro molto vivace–Larghetto–Presto–Allegro non troppo, ma con spirito), but I couldn't find a digitized score.

• Wissenschaftliche Stadtbibliothek
• Royal Academy of Music
• British Library
• Sächsische Landesbibliothek Dresden

These libraries have the printed edition.

Yes, that's the main take-away.

But the piece itself is worthy, and I think Major is a truly undeservedly unsung composer.

Is the score of Lassen's 2nd Symphony available anywhere?

It sounds like a cross between a barrel-organ and a squeezebox. Truly awful.

That is unfair to barrel-organs and accordions!

I sympathise, Alan. I nearly gave up altogether. Some of the sounds are unbelievable - there's a trill on the bassoon at one point which sounds like someone beating a tom-tom with a toothbrush! And the flutes resemble a harmonium stop - and that's being kind. I hope it doesn't put people off.
