Machavariani
Symphony No. 1 Looks like movements 3 & 4 are the same. I believe there are just three.

[guest54]

Yes you're right! I've removed the duplicate link.

[Gauk]

I think there should be four movements. AFAIK the 3rd movement is a short allegro, and the 4th is an allegro molto notorious for ripping off Shostakovich's Leningrad Symphony.
