Schwartz 1999: Michael Tilson Thomas later commissioned and recorded a version for orchestra. "Like all of Dahl's music, the piece contains both flawless craft and a large measure of poetry."

Schwartz 1999: "May be the closest thing to a Dahl hit, the 'Intermezzo' movement having been used as a signature piece for Armed Forces Radio". Schwartz, Steve (1999). "Defining Dahl: The Music of Ingolf Dahl – review". ClassicalNet. Retrieved January 17, 2022.
Schwartz 1999: "The music's emotional world, particularly the first two movements, overflows with a wistfulness Stravinsky lacks. The finale opens everything up. Rhythmically lively – almost as manic as Martinů – it's a melodic and dancing delight." Schwartz, Steve (1999). "Defining Dahl: The Music of Ingolf Dahl – review". ClassicalNet.

Schwartz 1999: "The score,...while fully in a neo-classic idiom, manages to avoid its clichés. Yet the score displays positive virtues as well: a grave beauty, really interesting textural shifts, and an even-handed distribution of interest throughout the orchestra.

"Local Piano Debut for Robert Drumm", The New York Times, October 13, 1962, accessed May 31, 2010. "This proved to be a densely written work in a style reminiscent of much Central-European music of the nineteen-twenties.
