I can't remember all the details but I recall the provenance as a Seventh
Symphony is somewhat dubious.  However, if you can get over all that
and listen to it as a straight, stand-alone piece of music it is quite
enjoyable.  The last movement is the best.  It has a fine main theme which,
when it makes its triumphant return at the end, is very satisfying.
