THIS work has three Movements.
FIRST MOVEMENT. This opens with an Introduction. Then comes one of the Main Tunes of the Movement. It begins on Piano alone. and can be recognized by its curiously broken character. After some time, a more gentle tune enters.
SECOND MOVEMENT. This is a brief and very attractive Movement, which begins with a graceful tune for Flute accompanied by pizzicato Strings. Later appears a quicker passage (beginning on Piano alone), which Tchaikovsky took from an old French song.
THIRD MOVEMENT. This quick and fiery Movement is made out of three chief tunes, all suggesting 'Russian dances.
THIS Symphony in F is just over forty years old. There are four Movements-a quick big-spirited one, a gentle song-like one, a romantically melancholy one, and another quick and vigorous one.
