The Third Symphony is scored for full orchestra, strictly following the High Classical and Romantic traditions, with a tragic and expansive overture, a symphonic nocturne, a light and quick scherzo, and a vibrant rondo-finale. The "Hero" in the subtitle does not represent any human figure, but art itself and its failing social status. The music is grand and highly emotional, containing rich folk elements that strive to unify an ethnical spirit and the meaning of selfhood.(2012) ca. 32'
