Talk:Symphonie espagnole

Omitting the Intermezzo
About:

It was common practice until the middle of the 20th century for performances of the work to omit the Intermezzo,[3] leaving a four-movement work that more closely reflected the traditional structure of a symphony.

So, how does that work? We blithely override the opinion of the composer himself, and simply circumcise his composition, because it's all about "tradition," after all, and we know better?

What am I missing here? There's got to be more to the story. Toddcs (talk) 16:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
