The symphony is widely assumed to have been a student assignment, written toward the end of Bizet's nine years of study at the Conservatoire de Paris. [1] At the Conservatoire, Bizet had come increasingly under the influence of Charles Gounod, whose works in the first half of the 1850s—including Sapho (1851), Ulysse (1852) and the Symphony No. 1 in D major (1855)—had a strong impact on the ...
In 1855, he wrote an ambitious overture for a large orchestra, [16] and prepared four-hand piano versions of two of Gounod's works: the opera La nonne sanglante and the Symphony in D.
