Symphony No. 3. Einojuhani Rautavaara.

Original

Symphony No. 3 composed by Einojuhani Rautavaara. 1928-. For orchestra. Score. Published by Fennica Gehrman. FG.042-07973-7. ISBN 979-0-042-07973-7. The Third Symphony written in 1959-60, constitutes a synthesis of the romanticism of the First Symphony and the modernism of the Second. The work is twelve-tone but does not aspire to total chromaticism. on the contrary, the twelve-note row generates the pitches and intervals but the music itself is shaped according to what, ultmately, are tonal laws. As a result, this symphony surprisingly harks back to Bruckner and German Late Romanticism. At the same time it is a genuine product of Rautavaara's imagination and his first real symphonic masterpiece. As in Bruckner's last symphonies, the orchestral forces include four Wagner tubas.
