Symphony No. 8 (Glazunov)

The Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major, Op. 83, was composed by Alexander Glazunov in 1905, and was published two years later. This four-movement symphony (his last one) was premiered on December 22, 1906 in Saint Petersburg, the composer conducting. [1] It was an important influence on Igor Stravinsky's Symphony in E-flat.

It is in four movements:

• Allegro moderato ( = 100)
• Mesto ( = 50–54)
• Allegro ( = 120)
• Finale: Moderato sostenuto ( = 66)
