Symphony in E (Sullivan)

The Symphony in E, first performed on 10 March 1866, was the only symphony composed by Arthur Sullivan. Since Sullivan's death, it has frequently been called the "Irish" Symphony as it was composed in Ireland, and as a homage to Mendelssohn's "Scottish Symphony".

Composted early in Sullivan's career, the piece was generally well received at its early performances and continued to be performed regularly during Sullivan's lifetime. Though it received few performances in the twentieth century, it has been heard more frequently in recent decades, and at least four recordings of the piece have been issued.
