Elgar's First Symphony is one of the greatest symphonies written since the four symphonies of Brahms. Scored for a large modern orchestra, which is handled with masterly dexterity and extraordinary range and beauty of colour, it is conceived on a huge canvas, the details of which are copious and intricate. The first movement opens with a slow introduction which is devoted to the exposition of a broad, stately, and majestic theme that serves the purpose of a kind of motto theme. The second movement is virtually a scherzo, the slow movement rich and sonorous, and the Finale is worked out on a big and dramatic scale leading to a triumphant conclusion.
