Symphony in B minor, Op. 58, is a programmatic symphony composed by
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky between May and September 1885. It is based on
the poem "Manfred" written by Lord Byron in 1817. It is the only one of
Tchaikovsky's symphonies he completed that is not numbered (the Symphony
in E flat is a conjectural work left unfinished by the composer) and was
written between the Fourth and Fifth Symphonies.
