• — This movement is dominated by two main themes and follows the, which many composers use for the first of a, consisting of three sections, the, the and the. The symphony opens with a strenuous string figure in, initially leaping and falling in then narrowing to. Then, we hear a broadly lyric first theme played by the. Later on we hear the second theme, which is built out of octaves and sevenths. Then, the two are expanded in the, by having different instruments playing them, and in different styles, including a section.

The movement ends with the playing a rising figure, and slowly fading away. • This movement is in the form, or A, B, A form.

And the movement ends as it started, sounding like an off-kilter music-box. • This movement gives perfect contrast to the; it sounds beautiful. The opening theme is played by the third violins. And are slowly added and continue the melody.

After the assertive trumpets of the first movement and the raucous horns of the second, this movement uses no brass at all, so there is a limited palette of sounds. Then, a flute solo plays a melody from the first movement. Then the solo is passed on to the with the strings accompanying. Then, the music builds to a point where that same material is being played by the cellos. The third movement ends like the first, with a celesta solo that slowly fades away.

The then-head of the Leningrad Philharmonic,, recalls that certain authorities bristled at Mravinsky's gesture of lifting the score above his head to the cheering audience, and a subsequent performance was attended by two plainly hostile officials, V.N.

Surin and Boris M. Yarustovsky, who tried to claim in the face of the vociferous ovation given the symphony that the audience was made up of 'hand-picked' Shostakovich supporters.
