The Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 3, by Nikolai Myaskovsky was written in 1908 (and revised 1921). It is in three movements: # Lento, ma non troppo. Allegro. # Larghetto, quasi andante # Allegro assai e molto risoluto The first sketches for this symphony were written at the time of Myaskovsky's studies in Saint Petersburg in February 1908. The following summer he wrote the piano score, and on the first, ninth and twenty-seventh of July, the movements were finished in piano reduction. In September he finished the orchestration. In this early period of his composition, Myaskovsky noticed his talent and enthusiasm for the symphony as a genre, but he didn't have the heart to show his work to his teacher for composition, Anatoly Lyadov. So he showed it, along with his friend and fellow student Sergei Prokofiev, to Alexander Glazunov, who granted him a scholarship immediately. In 1921 Myaskovsky revised the symphony and published this revised version in 1929. In 1931 a version for piano four-hands was published. == Analysis == The music and the character of the early symphonies of Myaskovsky look back to the Russian Romantics like Tchaikovsky, Glazunov or Taneyev. Myaskovsky also tried to be open to modern influences, but his music wasn't modern enough for the contemporary Russian composers since his focus was on melody and voice-leading as he had learned from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The first symphony has many attributes which are characteristic for Myaskovsky's symphonies: The expansive exposition and variation of the themes, the use of polyphony and counterpoint and of course the preference for minor scales and sonata form. The first and third movement is in C minor, the second is in A-flat major. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Symphony No. 1 (Myaskovsky)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
