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:
“Whenever, therefore, people are deceived and form opinions wide of the truth, it is clear that the error has slid into their minds through the medium of certain resemblances to that truth.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“When I was young my teachers were the old.
I gave up fire for form till I was cold.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
