Autumn, our poor garden is all falling down,
the yellowed leaves are flying in the wind.
(Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy) 

Foggy tristesse is in the air. Melancholy melodies of the winds dominate the scene. A rising theme of the strings provides some hope, but wistfulness remains.

In your loneliness do not look at the road,
and do not rush out after the troika.
Suppress at once and forever the fear of longing in your heart.
(Nikolay Nekrasov).

A sleigh ride with rapid horses, tingling bells and shining snow (virtuous part of the flutes). A dance-like section in the centre interrupted by the coachman's crack of the whip. The new key GMaj makes the piece well playable.

Once upon a Christmas night the girls were telling fortunes:
taking their slippers off their feet and throwing them out of the gate.
(Vasily Zhukovsky) 

An elegant valse, which remembers to the magical Christmas celebrations in the former aristocratical Russia. The keys of the main section and the trio are mediant chords. The rhythms partly break the fixed scheme of the waltz by syncopation. A longer coda with big increase provides an impressive end. Especially by the new keys the piece will be facilitated very much.
