Balakirev worked on the second of his twosymphonies between 1900 and 1908 and it was first performed at a Free Schoolconcert in April 1909 under the direction of Liapunov. Work on his firstsymphony had been resumed thirty years after the first sketches, with no traceof a change of style. Similarly the second symphony, which makes use of theScherzo planned in the 1860s for the earlier work, is in a style that hadpassed. This, after all, was the age of Stravinsky's Firebird. It is,nevertheless, a compelling enough work, testimony to Balakirev's craftsmanshipand to the Russian source of his his inspiration.
The symphonic poem Rus, the ancient name of Russia, wasoriginally planned as a four movement work. This scheme was rejected in favourof a second Overture on Russian Themes, which was first performed at a FreeSchool concert in Apri11864. The publisher Johansen issued the work, nowrevised, in 1869, under the title Musical Picture, 1000 Years. In the 1880sBalakirev revised the work again, giving it the title Rus. Three Russian themes are used. Thework is introduced by a wedding-song, It WasNot The Wind, a Larghetto opening. This B flat minor melody isfollowed by an Allegro moderato D major, the song I'll Go Up, statedfirst by clarinets and bassoons. The return of the first theme is followed bythe third folk-song, Jolly Katya In TheFields, and a fourth, apparently from the Caucasus, played by theclarinet with harp accompaniment. The material is developed, use being made ofthe first three themes. The fourth theme leads to the return of the first song,as it was originally heard, with a conclusion that makes brief and subtlereference to the second theme. Rus belongs to a period in Balakirev's creative career when such complete relianceon folk material seemed a possible course to pursue. In the symphonies thisattitude has been modified.
