Symphony No. 10 was inspired by the epic poem by Homer, The Odyssey, which chronicles the journey and adventures of its hero Odysseus on his way home from the Trojan War.
Symphony No. 9 features danceable melodies over rhythmically pulsing motor rhythms.
After a strident horn call, the symphony moves into the familiar realm of a Classical symphony.
This work is in four movements and follows the typical design of fast-slow-very fast-fast of the classical symphony.
The opening of this symphony is evocative of dance music from the American West particularly as it is heard in the ballets of Aaron Copland.
