Carl Nielsen: Symphony No.2 (The Four Temperaments) (32 min)

Join the WSO for a symphonic version of a BuzzFeed “What’s Your Personality?” quiz. Nielsen’s Symphony No.2, also called, The Four Temperaments, was inspired by a painting Denmark’s greatest composer saw in a village pub depicting the four temperaments – Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Choleric, and Melancholic – considered to be the human personality types in medieval times.
