Rheinberger’s first Symphony was among the most successful and frequently performed new symphonies following its premiere in 1866. This “symphonic tone painting” in four movements [Prelude, Thekla, Wallenstein’s Camp, Wallenstein’s Death], which is based on Schiller’s trilogy of dramas, was Rheinberger’s only excursion into the realm of programme music. The influence of Beethoven is unmistakable, the lively 3rd movement [scherzo/trio] depicts with much humour the life of a soldier, and the sermon portrays of the zealous capuchin monk.
