| (Sergei Prokofiev) |
| (o): | Orchestra of the Leningrad State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre (1934) | label: Belgoskino |
| | Introduced as a loose theme in Russian film Poruchik Kizhe (Lieutenant Kijé), based on the short story by Yury Tynyanov (1927). Used under the scene where the unexisting Lieutenant, sent to Siberia anyway, is on his way back to the Czar to become commander of the forces as General Major Kijé. See also: Romance. Prokofiev turned it into a symphonic Suite following the film's success; this theme was incorporated in the Fourth Movement. |
