It was first performed on October 15, 1994, by the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Dennis Russell Davies. Scoring and structureThe work is scored for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes doubling English horn, E{{music|flat}} clarinet, two B{{music|flat}} clarinets, bass/contrabass clarinet, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, four percussionists, piano, harp, and strings.[2] It has three continuous movements with contrasting themes and lasts approximately 40 minutes. Glass commented on his use of polyphony in the work that "The great experiments of polytonality carried out in the 1930s and 40s show that there's still a lot of work to be done in that area. Harmonic language and melodic language can coexist closely or at some calculated distance, and their relationship can be worked out in terms of either coexisting harmonies or ambiguous harmonies...I'm more interested in the ambiguous qualities that can result from polytonality — how what you hear depends on how you focus your ear, how a listener's perception of tonality can vary in the fashion of an optical illusion. We're not talking about inventing a new language, but rather inventing new perceptions of existing languages."[3] References1. ^1 2 Philip Glass: Music: Symphony No. 2 2. ^Philip Glass: Symphony No. 2 3. ^Programme notes to the 1998 recording on Nonesuch Records See also
