Symphony in E Flat (Tchaikovsky) - Form

Form

The Bogatyrev reconstruction follows the traditional four-movement pattern:

  1. Allegro brillante
    This movement was used for the Third Piano Concerto, Op. posth. 75.
  2. Andante
    Bogatyryev used the Andante from the Andante and Finale for Piano and Orchestra, Op. posth. 79, which had been constructed from Tchaikovsky's sketches by Sergei Taneyev. More recently, it was reused as the slow movement of a projected Cello Concerto.
  3. Scherzo: Vivace assai
    Perceiving that Tchaikovsky would have written a scherzo for this symphony, Bogatyryev orchestrated this piece from Tchaikovsky's Scherzo-Fantasie, Op. 72, No. 10.
  4. Finale: Allegro maestoso
    Bogatyryev used the Finale from the Andante and Finale.

Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “Modernity exists in the form of a desire to wipe out whatever came earlier, in the hope of reaching at least a point that could be called a true present, a point of origin that marks a new departure.”
    —Paul De Man (1919–1983)

    “In the county there are thirty-seven churches
    and no butcher shop. This could be taken
    as a matter of all form and no content.”
    —Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)

    “and so this tree—
    Oh, that such our death may be!—
    Died in sleep, and felt no pain,
    To live in happier form again:
    From which, beneath Heaven’s fairest star,
    The artist wrought this loved guitar;”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
