Part 1
WILFRED JOSEPHS writes:
In January 1967, while in America for five performances of my Requiem, the Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia telephoned to commission a new work. I had just. in New York, begun sketches for a large-scale musically advanced Third Symphony, but this was for large orchestra. So I laid it aside as Symphony No... 4 (on which I expect to work for another two years) and composed the intermediate Symphony No. 3, in four movements, for ' Beethoven-sized ' orchestra. The promised sixteen performances by the Philadelphia orchestra evaporated when the group, through economic difficulties, recently disbanded, so tonight's performance is in fact the world premiere.
