	"When I was in [[Petersburg]] I played the finale one evening at [[Rimsky-Korsakov]]'s, and the whole company almost tore me to pieces ~~with rapture~~, and ~~Mrs~~ [[Korsakova]] ~~begged me in tears~~ to ~~let her~~ arrange it for four hands", Tchaikovsky proudly told his brother [[Modest]] in February 1873 <ref name="note19"/>.		"When I was in [[Petersburg]], I played the finale one evening at [[Rimsky-Korsakov]]'s, and the whole company almost tore me to pieces for hours in raptures, and Madame [[Nadezhda Rimskaya-Korsakova\|Korsakova]] tearfully asked to arrange it for four hands", Tchaikovsky proudly told his brother [[Modest]] in February 1873 <ref name="note19"/>.

	When his publisher, [[Vasily Bessel]], raised the question of arranging the Symphony for piano duet, Tchaikovsky replied: "Regarding the symphony, I believe it would be best if Mrs [[Korsakova]] took it upon herself to make the arrangement. With the exception of [[Laroche]], I cannot think of anyone else who could do this well, apart from me" — the composer wrote to [[Bessel]] on 21 April/3 May 1873 — "I dislike this task, but in extreme circumstances I would do it myself, so long as you don't want me to finish it ''all'' by the summer" <ref name="note20"/>. However, due to ill health, [[Nadezhda Rimskaya-Korsakova]] withdrew, and Tchaikovsky made the arrangement himself.

Tchaikovsky shared his impressions of the concert with his [[Ilya Tchaikovsky\|father]]: "My symphony was performed here last week with great success; there were many calls for me and bursts of applause. The success was so great that it will be played again at the tenth symphony concert, for which they are already taking subscriptions to present me with a gift.

	The work's popular (but unofficial) designation as the '''''Little-Russian Symphony''''' (~~Малороссиская~~ симфония) appears to have been coined by the critic [[Nikolay Kashkin]], on the basis that it included several folk tunes from the Ukraine region, which was then colloquially known as “Little Russia” <ref name="note1"/>.

To tell the truth, I am not particularly satisfied with the first three movements, but "''The Crane''" itself, dare I say, is something of a success... I need to find out when our 10th concert will be. As a matter of fact, I want to make some improvements to the orchestral details before this" <ref name="note29"/>.

	The Second Symphony was heard in its new form at the tenth concert of the Russian Musical Society in [[Moscow]] on 27 March/8 April 1873, conducted by [[Nikolay Rubinstein]], "still with great success", according to [[Modest Tchaikovsky]]. The changes made to the orchestration of the Symphony were "intended to enhance it.

 [[Vasily Bessel]] in [[Saint Petersburg]] made an offer to print the Symphony for Tchaikovsky, which the composer accepted, and the composer's arrangement for piano duet was published by [[Bessel]] in November 1873 (plates 380-383, 111 pages). In October, Tchaikovsky corrected the proofs, and on 28 November/10 December he wrote to [[Bessel]]: "I've received the symphony; it is printed very well — apart from a few misprints; it's a pity you had to do it in such a rush" <ref name="note36"/>.

 After revising the work some years later, Tchaikovsky was grateful for this delay.

I was very angry — but in fact his dishonesty had done me a good turn!" <ref name="note38"/>.
