Symphony No.5, op.50 <1921–1922>
Specific information available for subscribers.
A revised version by Erik Tuxen (pub. 1950) was not specifically authorized by the composer. The Hansen edition is apparently the original 1923 publication; Serenissima offers both the original and the Tuxen revision, each with a useful preface by Clark McAlister.
The Tuxen material has a contrabassoon part which, however, never appears in the score. The part appears to be a doubling of the 2nd bn in certain passages; perhaps it is intended to be optional.
I. Tempo giusto - Adagio
II. Allegro - Andante
