The Symphony No. 13 in B-flat minor, Op. 36 by Nikolai Myaskovsky was composed in 1933.
It is in one movement in three sections:
Andante moderato
Agitato molto e tenebroso
Andante nostalgico
Its premiere was conducted by Leo Ginzburg. It received possibly its first performance in recent times on November 9, 1994 in a BBC Radio 3 broadcast from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales conducted by Tadaaki Otaka. Its central section contains a fugato in B minor, and "peters out" with quiet B minor dissonant chords.
It is among Myaskovsky's more dissonant compositions.
The symphony lasts about 20 minutes in performance. It was apparently not published until 1945.
