thread_title:  Allegretto played by Philadelphia Orchestra to commemorate a death 

message: There is never enough room for all that you want to put in an edit summary. I just want to add, for the record, that, of course, I have heard the 2nd movement played by itself on the radio and on cable TVs classical music station. I just have never encountered a live concert where this occurred and I have been fortunate enough to hear it in several cities in the US and Europe. Having said that I am sure that it has been performed alone in a live venue I just haven't encountered it. Now if the net would just cough up the performance from the mid 70's by Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony that was televised on PBS life would be sweet. MarnetteD | Talk 03:27, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Never enough room

message: The source that has Beecham denigrating this work also points out he "never intended remarks such as these to be taken very seriously", so the quote is perhaps misleading without qualification. Remove it?

replies: text: Many of Beecham's comments were "not to be taken seriously" : they were often said to provoke and were part of his character and his charm.  It doesn't mean they were not said.  This one certainly was, though the Wikepedia quote is incorrect, or else the quoted source of David Bicknell's book is wrong, as the quotation referred to the fourth and final movement and NOT the third as stated in the article.  If one listens to the music (especially in Beecham's EMI recording from the 1950s) you can see exactly why he said what he did about that fourth movement - not what he is reported to have said about the third. 124.168.236.159 (talk) 05:28, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I have (1) added Sir George Grove's comment on the final movement, whch is a classic; (2) modified the first of two identical quotes by von Weber on that ostinato at the end of the first movement and left the second (in Reception) intact); and changed the reference on the Beecham quote to the fourth movement.
