It took many years and much effort on the part of Foroni, director of the Hovkapellet, to persuade Lindblad to write another symphony. Symphony No. 2 in D major was first performed on 6 May 1855 during a very long concert which also included, amongst other items, Beethoven's Ninth. It is perhaps not surprising that in such a context Lindblad' Second seemed somewhat pale and insignificant to the audience and that no publisher deemed it fit for publication. Artistically, however, Lindblad's Symphony No. 2 is in no way inferior to his First Symphony. It is very well constructed. The instrumentation is just as elegant, his mastery of form greater and the counterpoint more striking. The thematic material is carefully chosen. The musical language does not have a specifically nationalist colour, still basing itself on Mozart and Beethoven, but romantic influences now come more clearly to the fore; traces of Mendelssohn and Schumann can be heard. In the Scherzo there are elements which remind one of Berwald; quite by chance, for when would Lindblad have had the opportunity to hear Berwald's orchestral music, or even to study a score? Perhaps the symphony's closing moments sound familiar? Of course, it is Mozart. Cherubinio's aria from Act I of Le nozze di Figaro.
