Symphony No. 5, in E flat Schubert Norwegian artists' carnival Svendsen In its original form the Overture on Russian Themes, written in 1866. was closely modelled on Balakirev's folk-song overtures: that in B minor and that now known as ' Russia '. The melody of the introduction and conclusion is that introduced by Beethoven in the second ' Razumovsky' Quartet and later used by Mussorgsky in Boris. Of the two allegro themes, one has also become familiar through its appearance in Tchaikovsky's ' 1812' Overture.
Korsakov's Overture was first performed on December 23, 1866. But thirteen years later the composer revised and re-orchestrated it, giving it the form in which listeners will hear it this morning.

This is the first of a series that will bring each time to the microphone a different North-Country ' family party' to compare notes on. their upbringing, their jobs, and their attitude to life generally.
