Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote his Symphony No. 1 in G minor, ''Winter Daydreams'' ((ロシア語:Зимние грёзы), ''Zimniye gryozy''), Op. 13, in 1866, just after he accepted a professorship at the Moscow Conservatory: it is the composer's earliest notable work. The composer's brother Modest claimed this work cost Tchaikovsky more labor and suffering than any of his other works.〔Brown, David, ''Tchaikovsky: The Early Years, 1840–1874'' (New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1978), 99〕 Even so, he remained fond of it, writing to his patroness Nadezhda von Meck in 1883 that "although it is in many ways very immature, yet fundamentally it has more substance and is better than any of my other more mature works."〔Brown, 102; Warrack, 48〕 He dedicated the symphony to Nikolai Rubinstein. ==Form== # Dreams of a Winter Journey. ''Allegro tranquillo'' (2222 4200 timp str) # Land of Desolation, Land of Mists. ''Adagio cantabile ma non tanto'' (2222 2000 str) #:This movement has an essentially monothematic structure, based on subtle gradations and variations on a single melody.〔Maes, 79–80.〕 # Scherzo. ''Allegro scherzando giocoso'' (2222 2200 timp str) #:This was the earliest movement to be written. Salvaged from the third movement of a piano sonata in C-sharp minor that he had written as a student, Tchaikovsky transposed the movement down a semitone to C minor and replaced the trio with the first of a whole line of orchestral waltzes. # Finale. ''Andante lugubre—Allegro maestoso'' (3222 4231 timp cymbals bass-drum str) #:Tchaikovsky uses the folk-song "Распашу ли я млада, младeшенка" (''Raspashu li ya mlada, mladeshenka'') as the basis for both the introduction and the second subject. This song also colors the vigorous first subject. Tchaikovsky had borrowed the folk-song motive into the prelude and the finale of his Cantata for the Opening of the Polytechnic Exhibition in Moscow 1872 (commemorating the bicentenary of the birth of Peter the Great).〔(Tchaikovsky Research: Cantata for the Opening of the Polytechnic Exhibition (TH 67) )〕 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 (Tchaikovsky)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
