It was premiered in St Petersburg in December 22 of 1906, conducted by the own composer. The piece was very well received, many considering it his best work in the genre. It inspired Stravinsky to write his own Symphony in E flat. 1905 was a very turbulent year for Glazunov and Russia in general. The humiliating defeat in the Russo-Japanese war of that year begun a widespread revolution. As the Russian state attempted to industrialize and modernize itself, most of the population (farmers, students, industrial workers, etc) demanded more rights and social changes in an absolute monarchy as it was the Russian tsardom. The failure of Tsar Nicholas II to properly solve the crisis would set the stage for the 1917 revolution and the triumph of the communists. The St. Peterburg Conservatory, in which Glazunov was a teacher since 1899, was affected by these revolts as well. Many students and teachers demanded freedom of expression and the end of the state inreventions in the Conservatory, many of these students were prosecuted and expelled. Glazunov resigned as a sign of solidarity after his compatriot Rimsky-Korsakov had been expelled, for siding with the students. Shortly after Glazunov became the new director and remained until 1930, what was one of the most agitated and violent periods in Russian history. The first movement is structured in sonata form. It begins with a majestic but nostalgic main theme, full of romantic grandeur. It is contrasted by a calmer second theme presented by the oboe, which grows in a passionate climax. The development combines these materials contrapuntally, culminating in a rich and dramatic fugato before it continues with increasing dramatism. The recapitulation brings back the main themes in a varied way, rising in a grand climax. A low-key, subdued coda ends the movement. The second movement is structured in ternary form. It opens with a dark and tragic main theme, derived from the main theme of the previous movement. It unfolds with an almost funereal expression, rising in a solemn climax. The middle section begins with a hopeful second theme of pastoral character, presented by the flute, followed by clarinet and horn. The main theme is then recapitulated, but there is no redemption nor positive outcome. A desparing coda ends the movement. The third movement is a weird kind of scherzo: without a trio and in rondo form (A-B-C-A'-B'-C'-Coda). It begins with a nervous but playful main theme, it is followed by a more melodic and charming second theme on woodwinds, in counterpoint with faster motives. A more dissonant and agitated third theme appears on strings and brass, before the main theme of the scherzo is recapitulated, followed by the rest of them. A boisterous coda brings the movement to an end. The fourth movement is structured in sonata form. It opens with a slow introduction, in which the brasses present a solemn Russian chorale. A vigorously rhythmic main theme is presented through a dense fugue. It is derived from the main theme of the first movement as well. It is contrasted by a lyrical second theme presented by the clarinet, exhuberantly unfolded. The opening chorale reappears, beginning the development section, which is surprisingly mostly calm and laid back. Music suddenly accelerates in a massive climax, followed by the recapitulation of the themes. A triumphant coda ends the whole work.

Leokadiya Kashperova Igor Stravinsky Glazunov Levi 1872 1940
Leokadiya Kashperova +••.••(...)) was a well known soloist and piano teacher in her time. Igor Stravinsky was among her students at the St Petersburg Conservatory when she was 27 and he was 17. He recognised her excellent teaching in his biography and credited her with creating his piano technique, all the while failing to mention her by name. She also composed several orchestral works (symphonies and concertos) and performed as a soloist as far afield as Berlin and London, where critics remarked on the quality of her sound. Glazunov would always try to have her give the premieres of his compositions. This recording features on the album "Leokadiya Kashperova Cello and Piano Sonata No.1". Wishing to illuminate Kashperova’s melodic, elegant, passionate and well constructed chamber music, this album explores the Russian musical universe of the 1890s and the composers who could have been present in the chamber music salons in St Petersburg and Moscow.
