tructure
The symphony, lasting 30-35 minutes, is in one movement employing a modified sonata form.
Analysis
The harmonic idiom of the symphony is unabashedly tonal and romantic, akin to that of Bruckner, and is seen by manyWho|date=August 2008 at the time of the symphony's completion as a betrayal to the prevailing avant-garde style, which Penderecki himself had previously contributed significantly (as demonstrated in his "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima"). However, this reversion to a romantic style had already been hinted at in his "St. Luke Passion" and Violin Concerto No. 1 of a few years earlier. This change in style was to become permanent, and his music since has been coined as neo-romantic in style.Who|date=August 2008
