The Symphony No. 13 in B minor, Op. 36 by Nikolai Myaskovsky was composed in 1933.

It is in one movement[1] in three sections:[2]

  1. Andante moderato
  2. Agitato molto e tenebroso
  3. Andante nostalgico

Its premiere was conducted by Leo Ginzburg. It received possibly its first performance in recent times on November 9, 1994[3] in a BBC Radio 3 broadcast from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales conducted by Tadaaki Otaka.[1]
Its central section contains a fugato in B minor, and "peters out"[1] with quiet B minor dissonant chords.[4]

It is among Myaskovsky's more dissonant compositions.[1]

The symphony lasts about 20 minutes in performance.[5] It was apparently not published until 1945.
