Piano The last three of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies have not been readily available for several years as piano reductions. Largely due to the advent of the phonograph, the grand tradition of piano transcription and reduction has mostly been abandoned for the immediate gratification of recorded materials. Great Symphonies Transcribed for Piano Solo, Volume 1, contains Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36, Symphony No. 5 in E Minor, Op. 64, and Symphony No. 6 in B Minor, Op. 74 by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
