Structure
This is the structural breakdown according to Glazunov himself, taken from a letter he wrote to Maximilian Steinberg:
- Exposition: Allegro Moderato, in 4/4, ending in G minor
- Development (brief)
- Transition: Andante (C flat major; sometimes B major), in 3/4, leading into a small cadenza
- Conclusion: Fugato (C minor), in 12/8
Above forms occur again before leading to the coda (E flat major).

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“What is the structure of government that will best guard against the precipitate counsels and factious combinations for unjust purposes, without a sacrifice of the fundamental principle of republicanism?”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
