Ervín Schulhoff: Symfonie č. 1 / Symphony No. 1 (1925) 

I’m not in age to express great disappointments but I know my music. There are lots of composers who from the first to the second movement turn into to hammering carpenters, and composers who start dull and bland and come back to life to mesmerize us somewhere in between. My sister brought in once music by this incredible composer. I thought he was Austrian. Since then we have listened all his symphonies.

Astounding orchestration of this composer, takes you in unexplored places

The movements are: I. Allegro ma non troppo II. Andante con moto - Allegretto alla marcia III. Molto allegro con brio e agitato

Maybe we shouldn't underestimate this rather odd Czech composer. He did write a piece where the female singer is supposed to fake an orgasm, and in 1919 wrote a silent work for piano! Is Cage's 4'33" so original after all!! He certainly has a lot to say musically, and this work demonstrates it. Interestingly rhythmical and cleverly orchestrated, Schulhoff poses questions that he doesn't always answer in his music. I applaud this post, make up your own mind.

0:05 is a good place to start.
