Glazunov's Organ Works which include intricate fugues and double fugues show that during his lifetime he was the only important Russian composer to write for the organ. His numerous works combine things which are original and genuinely Russian with a feeling for different aspects of life ranging from Slav melancholy to irresistible joie de vivre and the most sophisticated features of European music.

Deux Impromptus op. 12

Legende für Orchester-Way up in the rocky mountains Kikimora lives with her guardian the Wizard. Strange fairy tales are related to her from morning till eve by the Wizard's wise old cat. At night she es rocked gently to sleep in a crystal cradle until early sunrise. Kikimora becomes grown up at the age of seven. Her body swart and slender measures no longer than a wisp of straw her head no larger than a thimble. Dancing and darting about all day long the little sprite chirps and whistles the evening through till the hush of night sets in. From midnight until the break of day she is to be seen busily spinning and reeling yarn warping silken threads contriving new mischievous pranks with whichto irritate the world of mankind.

Glazunov began to compose this work at the age of fifteen. His diary records: “I composed and orchestrated the slow movement of Symphony no. 1 (“Andante”) in the summer of 1881 . . . The score of the symphony was completed by the autumn.” It was first performed in St Petersburg on 29 March 1882. Although the composer was still a schoolboy his symphony was the work of “fully-fledged musician with great technical expertise.” (César Cui). Mily Balakirev once said to Tchaikovsky: “Apart from Mendelssohn no one got off to such a good start as Glazunov.” In 1932 when the composer looked at his symphony fifty years after the first performance he remarked: “Not a single note needs to bechanged.”

Symphony no. 5 is one of Glazunov's most popular and most frequently performed works. Although it is obviously in the tradition of the new St Petersburg school (and especially in that of Alexander Borodin) its structure and orchestration are rather unusual. Furthermore it contains some magnificent polyphonic passages. Symphony no. 5 is one of Glazunov's most popular and most frequently performed works.
