In this work can be heardthe influences of Brahms Dvorak Sibelius and others all transformed by Nielsen's creative spirit. And as music like life in this instance is inextinguishable the four intricately interlinked movements are played without a break. Instead it is a noisy energetic thrusting paean to the inextinguishability of life itself. 4 was completed in 1916 and although it prominently features a thundering duel between timpani the composer did not write this work in response to World War I. 4 The Inextinguishable the composer's most popular and most frequently recorded and performed work. This is the full score for Carl Nielsen's Symphony No. But as many things in both life and music has elements of youthfulness I think that my serious young symphony should live and stay the way it was composed in 1953-1955. The severe character of the symphony (sinfonia austere) is with no doubt very juvenile. But of what they should play…I had no idea at all.

Instead the symphony reflects the lyrical style of works by Tchaikovsky and Brahms.
