Excerpt from The Standard Symphonies: Their History, Their Music, and Their Composers, A Handbook The Standard Symphonies is the fourth of the series in which the Standard Operas, Standard Oratorios, and Standard Cantatas have been its predecessors. For the sake of uniformity the same general method has been followed as in the works mentioned above. The nature and structure of the symphony are so well defined that it has not been a difficult task to decide what compositions of this class should be selected. The programmes of the concert-stage, running through a series of years, are sufficient to indicate what may be considered standard. With one exception, Beethoven's Choral Fantasie, which has been included owing to its distant kinship to his Choral Symphony, all the works described are symphonic in character. The symphonic poems at the close of the volume obviously should also find place in a book of this kind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
