Symphony No. 13 (Myaskovsky)
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]
- Andante moderato
- Agitato molto e tenebroso
- 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.
