' In Autumn '
Grieg's overture ' In Autumn ' is a tone picture of autumn in Norway. A short introduction, with a wistful little tune shared by oboe and flute, leads to the principal quick section in the minor key, in which the first main theme is soon heard-a strongly rhythmic measure. A calmer section brings us to the second main tune, played by horns and clarinets-a more gracious and cheerful melody.
Tchaikovsky's Third Suite
Tchaikovsky began the writing of his third orchestral suite at the end of April, 1884. During this time he was keeping a diary in which he noted from day to day the development of his work, which appears to have cost him a considerable amount of trouble.
The Suite was completed at the beginning of July and first performed some time later at St. Petersburg under Hans von Biilow. The Theme and Variations form the last movement of the Suite.
