Form
The Bogatyrev reconstruction follows the traditional four-movement pattern:
- Allegro brillante
- This movement was used for the Third Piano Concerto, Op. posth. 75.
- 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.
- 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.
- Finale: Allegro maestoso
- Bogatyryev used the Finale from the Andante and Finale.

Famous quotes containing the word form:
“The literary critic, or the critic of any other specific form of artistic expression, may detach himself from the world for as long as the work of art he is contemplating appears to do the same.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
“The legislator should direct his attention above all to the education of youth; for the neglect of education does harm to the constitution. The citizen should be molded to suit the form of government under which he lives. For each government has a peculiar character which originally formed and which continues to preserve it. The character of democracy creates democracy, and the character of oligarchy creates oligarchy.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.”
—Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)
