Summary

Composed in 1872 and first performed in Moscow at the Russian Musica Society on February 7, 1873, Tchaikovsky's second venture into the symphonic form was well-received, soon earning the nickname 'Little Russian' due to his quotation of the Ukranian folk-song "The Crane" in the final movement. Despite the public popularity, the composer was not satisfied and revised the work fairly extensively in late 1879 and early 1880 - the standard version now performed. This new study score is a digitally-enhanced reissue of one first issued by Brucknerverlag a few years after the second world war edited by Fritz Oeser, which itself is a re-engraving of the Soviet score from 1946. In contrast to so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is actually readable.
