They both competed to write a twenty-minute piece in which a bass tuba should be heard in "splendid isolation". It was premiered in Stockholm on March 1919. The work was later revised between 1943-5. It is divided in four short movements performed continuously. The symphony is based on themes of Swedish folk music. In his childhood home in Gothenburg, Atterberg had found a publication from 1875 containing some 200 Swedish folk dances, which he used in several compositions. In Symphony No.4, he does not try to make a symphonic version of the dances, but he incorporates them in his themes in a personal way. The first movement is written in sonata form. It begins with a decided and epic main theme, with folkloric roots from Västgöta. A lyrical second theme is then presented by the clarinet, using melodies Östergötland and Västergötland. Follows a brief and compact development section. An energetic climax leads us to the recapitulation of the themes. A bright coda leads us to the next movement. The second movement is written in ternary form. It opens statically, before the oboe presents a lyrical main theme derived from a popular polka, full of nostalgia and with a marked Nordic character. The middle section begins with a melancholic second theme presented by the English horn, based on a folksong from Västgöta. The music rises in an expressive climax as it is taken by strings. The nostalgic main theme is then gently recapitulated. A meditative coda ends the movement. The third movement is a very brief scherzo in ternary form. It opens with a rhythmic, syncopated main theme derived from a folk dance of Södermanland. The trio presents a second dance theme from the region of Västmanland, before the scherzo is quickly resumed. A calm coda ends the movement. Atterberg latter added a development and recapitulation of the trio in 1945, but so far this version has not been recorded. The fourth movement is written as a rondo (A-B-C-A'-Coda). It begins with a forceful entrance, followed by the presentation of a rhythmic main theme based on the song "Hallingen". A nostalgic second theme is then presented, derived from a traditional song of the Småland, deeply Nordic in spirit. It is followed by a third theme from the Västergötland. The main theme is extensively recapitulated, leading us to a cheerful coda. Picture: "Spring eve behind Kiruna" (c1912) by the Swedish painter Helmer Osslund.
