Symphony No. 1 in G minor ("Winter Dreams"), Op. 13
Composition Description by Robert Cummings
Tchaikovsky was extremely sensitive and self-critical, often revising well-crafted works or destroying or attempting to destroy them.

The finale, shortened considerably, emerged as one of the brightest moments in his entire output.
The work opens with the horn playing the melody from a Russian folk song called "Down Little Mother Volga," in its melancholy Ukrainian version. The Andante sostenuto tempo changes to Allegro vivo when a second lively theme of absolutely Russian character is presented. A gentle lyrical melody is then introduced by the oboe, and the ensuing development section features much tension and color
