Talk:Symphony in C (Stravinsky)

Craft reports that Stravinsky admitted that when he was writing the work the score of Tchaikovsky's First Symphony was always on his piano. Perhaps the abstract music into which it is suggested he retreated with this work was a little more recent than the sources suggested. it's not an easy work to conduct - it can sound very sectional, as it did, for example, as late as the mid 1960s under Dorati at the Royal Festival Hall. For the recording with the Chicago Symphony orchestra under the composer, a dozen or so years after the premiere, the orchestra was apparently rehearsed by Georg Szell. That recording doesn't sound sectional - between them they got it right.Delahays (talk) 00:33, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

A minor point: I would just like to mention that the sentence including information about the cerebral thrombosis during the 1956 performance is really not pertinent to the rest of the paragraph, and could be removed.
