Symphony, Opus 21, is one of Webern's more interesting pieces. It is far more sonorous than most, more relaxed, and is said to be one of the best examples of Webern's orchestration of silence. (It is sometimes said that he has done with silence what Giacommetti, according to Sartre, has done with empty space.) Anyway, the appeal is more an intellectual than an emotional one. At least, I didn't notice anyone break into tears...
