Ah, this is the first symphony I've produced without spending the whole time muttering under my breath about the complexity and physical tediousness involved in the compositional process. I just grit my teeth and did the work; though it took almost two entire months to squeeze the thing out. Writing twenty-four distinctly different tempos into the first movement alone did nothing to help speed the process along. ;p
Each of the four movements follows a simple ABA' pattern, though the first movement resembles the immediately previous triple clarinet concerto by embedding two separate, successive tonal centers into each of the three sections. The A' sections of the concluding three movements all feature recursions to the movements' original tonal centers. This is, of course, standard practice in the diatonic system; but it is the first time I've employed this scheme in a work with tonal centers otherwise completely determined by the tone row.
