Symphony No. 5 (Glazunov)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major, Op. 55, was written by Alexander Glazunov from April to October 1895. Although in this symphony Glazunov returned to his conventional four-movement layout (his Fourth Symphony had only three) he frequently utilizes thematic transformation.

The symphony calls for a romantic orchestra of the following instruments:

3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 3 clarinets in B-flat (3rd doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, triangle, cymbals, bass drum, bells, harp, strings
