Description

Dealing with Nielsen’s symphonies and other works, Simpson compares Nielsen and Sibelius as symphonists. It is a classic study of Nielsen’s music in which the author excels in pointing out the particular aspects of each piece of music which mark it as one of Nielsen’s, and describing how tonality is used within the major pieces (particularly the symphonies) in a revolutionary way.
