George Antheil actually wrote seven
symphonies of which he claimed only six. He wrote one version of his Fifth
Symphony and subtitled it "Tragic" in memory of his brother and the dead
from World War II. He did not have this first version published (I wish
someone would find it) and subsequently wrote a new Fifth Symphony which he
allowed to be published with the subtitle "Joyous." The prominent music
critic and composer Virgil Thomson wrote a glowing review of this work. Both
the Fourth Symphony and this Fifth Symphony ("Joyous") have been recorded.
The recording of the Fifth Symphony is recorded on the Centaur Records label
and I recommend it highly!
