Ferdinand Thieriot

[Alan Howe]

Thanks for the reminder about Fuchs, although I wouldn't rate him as a symphonist.

Draeseke's 4th is very much a postscript to his symphonic output - and a sui generis commentary on the rising tide of modernism. I wrote about it years back in discussion with Dr Alan Krueck:

At the moment, as far as original symphonists are concerned, I think we're left with Thieriot and, once we've heard the rest of his 1st Symphony, probably Reinhold Becker.
Reminders:
Thieriot No.5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSuKduRk_Ic&t=207s
Reinhold Becker No.1 (i): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPsxN12I994   (the coda is absolutely stunning)

Should be able to put up the completed Becker later this week all being well.
