Recent Researches in the Music of the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth CenturiesEtienne-Nicolas MéhulSymphony No. 1 in G Minor Edited by David Charlton
Méhul's symphonies are probably the finest French orchestral works produced during the "Age of Beethoven." The Symphony in G Minor, eventually conducted by Mendelssohn and praised by Schumann, is an assured and personal statement. This edition includes a facsimile page of a hitherto-unknown early version, new information on the performance history of all Méhul's symphonies, and the translation of an important unpublished letter by the composer.
