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:

    Which form of proverb do you prefer—”Better late than never,” or “Better never than late”?
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Now only a dent in the earth marks the site of these dwellings, with buried cellar stones, and strawberries, raspberries, thimble-berries, hazel-bushes, and sumachs growing in the sunny sward there.... These cellar dents, like deserted fox burrows, old holes, are all that is left where once were the stir and bustle of human life, and “fate, free will, foreknowledge absolute,” in some form and dialect or other were by turns discussed.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I can’t work without a model. I won’t say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
    Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)
