Symphonies no. 6, op. 74 B minor
Content:
Premiered in 1893 in St. Petersburg with Tchaikovsky on the podium, the Sixth Symphony--later nicknamed "Pathetique"--was met with lukewarm reception before achieving success a few months later under the baton of Napravnik, barely 9 days before the death of the composer! Dedicated to his nephew, Tchaikovsky explained that he had "put my whole soul into this work", and a tragic aura has remained associated with his ultimate symphonic composition
