In the vigorous finale, Tchaikovsky incorporates a famous Russian folk song, “In the Field Stood a Birch Tree”, as the secondary theme – firstly in A minor, the second time in B flat minor and then in D minor, which leads to the A-flat phrase of the first movement, with the ‘lightning bolts’, with cymbals added, being much louder. The coda is also vigorous and triumphant.
