The Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major, Op. 55 (also known as The Heroic[citation needed]), was written by Alexander Glazunov from April to October 1895. Although in this symphony Glazunov returned to his conventional four-movement layout (his Fourth Symphony had only three) he frequently utilizes thematic transformation. Glazunov described it as "silenced sounds" and "an architectural poem".[citation needed]
