Finale from Symphony No. 2 - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Throughout the years, composers have found inspiration for their works in simple folk melodies. Tchaikovsky loved Russian folk music all his life. Whilst composing his 2nd symphony, he was inspired by farmers' songs that fascinated him during a stay in Kamenka (near Kiev). He composed this symphony in 1872/73 and used the melody from the song The Stork as the main theme for the Finale. James Curnow's transcription of this 19th century masterpiece allows you to bring your contest or concert performance to a fitting Finale.
