Magnus Lindberg’s concept

!  The Finn has become a concert hall staple – but his

sound and melody, constructed considering
intervals relationship
!  form: quite free as overture, but has sense of
concerto for orchestra
Analysis on Expo

meter and time signature changing are used
!  compositional techniques(2): contary motion is
important within String parts

very clear ordered in details, orchestration looks
familiar to previous Finnish composer such as
Sibelius
Analysis on Expo

Romantic(Sibelius) style), but original output
!  the piece may considered neo-Romantic and/or
historicism(from https://www.primephonic.com/

movement(overture and concerto),
Expo
