'''''Perpetuum mobile''''' (Вечное движение) is an adaptation of the Finale from the Piano Sonata No. 1 in C major (Op. 24) by [[Carl Maria von Weber]], which Tchaikovsky made around 1871 ([[TH]] 181; [[ČW]] 411).

==Instrumentation==
Scored for solo piano (2 hands). The original part for the right hand is transferred to the left, while the new right hand part is Tchaikovsky's own.

==Movements and Duration==
There is one movement (C major, 332 bars), lasting around 4 to 5 minutes in performance <ref name="note1"/>.

==History==
