Spring Symphony

Symphony no. 6 dates from the spring of 2009. It is dedicated to the conductor Karoly Neumayer and his orchestra, the Pecs Railway Workers' Concert Wind Ensemble. About the work, the composer writes: "This three-movement composition follows the classical traditions, but the first movement further develops the Scriabin-type sonata form, combining two fast movements. In contrast to the lyricism of the second movement a subterranean, negative force also makes its presence felt but in a dramatic conflict is overcome by the massive, inspired communal singing of the lyrical material, which becomes chorale-like as it emanates from the modal scales. The third movement is a cheerful, dance-like scherzo, with comical, humorous sound-effects."
