It is a richer, more romantic work than its two predecessors, both through its orchestration and the more plastic quality of its themes with their stronger flavour of poetic fantasy. It also moves a step further away from the classical ideal and nearer to a romantic freedom of form. \\r\u003cbr\u003eThe Sixth Symphony was written in an entirely new form\\u2014each movement in a different historical style\\u2014which baffled contemporaries. Today we accept compositions which work with musical styles from earlier periods such as Tchaikovsky\\u2019s Mozartiana, Grieg\\u2019s Holberg Suite, Stravinsky\\u2019s Pulcinella or Richard Strauss\\u2019 Dance Suite after Couperin but when Spohr pioneered the process with his \\u2018Historical\\u2019 Symphony contemporary listeners and critics completely failed to comprehend this concept. But it is in fact a very effective work. The styles imitated are filtered through Spohr\\u2019s imagination so giving the symphony its enduring fascination and providing it with a phoenix-like attribute of revival after each critical cremation.\u003cp\u003eOverture: Andante - Allegro Moderato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMovement 1: Andante Grave - Allegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMovement 2: Larghetto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMovement 3: Scherzo - Trio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMovement 4: Allegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMovement 1: Bach-Handel'sche Periode 1720.
