The first section ends with a fortissimo rendition of the plaintive folk song, "The Sun Does not Shine," by a pair of trumpets, a moment that some critics suggest is meant to evoke a cry for help.  It ends with a swirling virtuoso coda for the full orchestra that features loud and ringing accents presumably announcing victory.   In later years, a portion of this work was replaced by inserting a melody by Glinka in the second section, where a rustic motif for the woodwinds is interrupted by a statement of "God Save the Tsar."  Its composer's Opus 31, this work was written at the behest of Nikolai Rubinstein in 1876 for a benefit concert for Serbian soldiers wounded in the war against Turkey.  For 10 points, identify this orchestral work by Pyotr Tchaikovsky.
