Symphony no. 2 in C minor, op. 17 "Little Russian" (1880 revision [commonly performed])

This is the 1880 revised version, the one typically performed.

There are two versions of Tchaikovsky's 2nd Symphony:

• Original 1872 version, very rarely performed. As of 2016-04, only two known recordings, one complete.
• Revised 1880 version, the standard version that is normally performed.

The first movement was recomposed, and the original is a hundred bars longer. The 1872 version runs ≈16 minutes, the 1880 revised version runs 10–12.
