Finale ed Epilogo

ALFREDO CASELLA: this is a name of a composer that unfortunately does not yet enjoy, in the musical world, the right place for importance in the history of music.
In this new transcription I have decided to elaborate for the organ the last two (linked) movements of his Second Symphony op. 12 (1908-1910): the fourth, Finale, and the fifth, Epilogo (Epilogue). These are perhaps the movements more related to Mahler's world that includes both a march with a grotesque effect that heralds what will become characteristic much later in Shostakovich, as well a very expressive Adagio ending (as it happens for instance in Mahler's Third Symphony).
Music that changes continuously and that in a very Mahlerian act, at the height of despair and drama, transcends in a triumphal solution.
