Arthur Honegger Sibelius Prokofiev George Antheil Stravinsky 1924
Midi file sequenced by myself in Sibelius, animated with Midi Trails, a free program. From allmusic: This work caused a sensation at its May 8, 1924, Paris premiere, ushering in a trend toward mechanistic works, a trend that influenced even giants like Prokofiev, in his Symphony No. 2, and the then Paris-based lesser light American composer George Antheil in his riotous Ballet méchanique. But Pacific 231 (this is really the subtitle and Mouvement symphonique No. 1 the actual title), never caught on like other sensational Paris premieres, such as Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. Still, it is hardly a neglected piece today, and how many twentieth century works can approach the popularity of Stravinsky's masterpiece? Important note about the title (from Wiki): The popular interpretation of the piece is that it depicts a steam locomotive, an interpretation that is supported by the title of the piece alongside film versions. Honegger, however, insisted that he wrote it as an exercise in building momentum while the tempo of the piece slows. He originally titled it Mouvement Symphonique, only giving it the name Pacific 231, a class of steam locomotive designated in Whyte notation as a 4-6-2, with four pilot wheels, six driving wheels, and two trailing wheels (the French, who count axles rather than wheels when describing locomotives, call this arrangement 2-3-1) after it was finished.
