Hi Chris,
That's a tall order, for two reasons. One is that this is primarily something that I hear, not something that I intellectualize. The other is that even with my very limited knowledge of musicology, a summary of my understanding would be pretty darn long! But see this colorful analysis of the finale of the Jupiter Symphony to see a clear example of the kind of thing I'm talking about:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._41_%28Mozart%29
And also Grove's very perceptive comments. Tchaikovsky was a master of melody and harmony, but as I believe we've discussed before, Brahms mystified him and he couldn't hear the genius in Bach. I think that sophisticated structure was the forte of the Germans, after the Renaissance, at any rate. Tchaikovsky's peculiar genius lay elsewhere.
