[edit] Symphony No. 2 (Tchaikovsky)

FYI -- Three Ukrainian folk songs were used in the composition of Tchaikovsky's second symphony. "Spin, O My Spinner", "The Crane" and a Ukrainian variant of "Down by Mother Volga".DavidRF (talk) 06:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that there was ever a Ukrainian version of "Down by Mother Volga". The crane (Zanaduzhyv Zhuravel') only the first half of the children's folk song is used in the final movement. His piano concerto has another Ukrainin folk song as the main theme. Bandurist (talk) 09:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
