This concert passed to history because the first symphony of Rachmaninoff was premiered as well, it being so poorly received that it begun and three-year depression in which the composed next to nothing. It seems a lack of rehearsal time and (according to some) Glazunov's drunkness produced a botched performance of the piece. Rimsky-Korsakov, in his "Chronicle of My Musical Life", asserted: "Glazunov, who had overcome the whirlpools of the "Sea", the thicket of the "Forest", the walls of the "Kremlin" and the faults of the other compositions from his period of transition, now experienced (as the composer of the ballet Raymonda and of the Sixth Symphony) the full unfolding of his overwhelming talent. The over-rich palette of his imagination and his astonishing command of all technical matters showed his development to have attained its zenith." The Sixth Symphony is dedicated to the pianist, conductor, composer and teacher Felix Blumenfeld. Like Glazunov, he had studied composition under Rimsky-Korsakov. The first movement is structured in sonata form. It begins with a slow and solemn introduction, which culminates in an intense and fateful climax. The allegro begins with a passionate rhythmic main theme, presented by the strings and derived from the introduction material. It is contrasted by a lyrical second theme of great voluptuosity. The development is very dramatic and urgent, showcasing Glazunov's masterful use of counterpoint. Several grandiloquent climaxes are reached, showing the influence of Tchaikovsky. The recapitulation brings back the main themes, before a very dramatic coda ends the movement. The second movement consist of a theme and seven variations. It opens with a lyrical, folkish main theme presented by the strings. The first variation is gentle and delicate, featuring the woodwinds. The third variation is a brief and joyous scherzo, with flutes and strings in pizzicato. The fourth variation is a meditative fugato, with several entries from the strings, it quickly leads to the next one. The fifth variation is a deeply calm and lyrical nocturne. The sixth variation is agitated and Russian in flavour, with the prominence of woodwinds again. The seventh and final variation opens with severe phrases of the brass, contrasted by energic and nervous tuttis. The music culminates in a great climax, before a peaceful coda ends the movement. The third movement, instead of a scherzo, is a brief intermezzo in ternary form. It begins with a graceful and elegant dance theme, coming out almost like from one of Glazunov's ballets. The middle section opens with a contrasting lyrical theme introduced by the flute, and taken by the woodwinds. I unfolds in a very folkloric but light manner. The main theme is then recapitulated. A joyful coda ends the movement. The fourth movement is structured in sonata form. It begins with a solemn and imposing introduction, full of an heroic spirit. The allegro begins with a triumphal main theme that, as with the first movement, is derived from the opening material. A playful and light second theme offers the adequate contrast. A development section works like a set of variations, in which both themes are subjected to various metamorphoses, modulations and other procedures. A brief pastoral episode leads us to the brilliant recapitulation of the themes. The coda begins with a brief fugato, ending the whole work with a massive climax.

Blumenfeld's etude for the left hand alone - the playing starts at 1'30 if you get bored senseless by my voice. Always fun to practice because you can do all sorts of nice things with the right hand while you're working... :) Performed by James Rhodes - there is another version of this played be me on YT, but I kind of prefer the keyboard camera angles on this one...
