'A born composer of symphonies,' according to Jean Sibelius, Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) was among Denmark's leading musical geniuses. In his polytonal Second Symphony (1901-1902), one of the most popular symphonies of the 20th-century, Nielsen 'did his best to help the ear by making the clash of opposed melodic strains clear by sharply differentiating their tone-colour.'--Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians. The edition will delight professional musicians and concert-goers alike.
