 | | Various passages in the symphony are heard by many listeners as musical jokes. | | | The symphony is sometimes referred to as "Choral", pointing to the vocal end of the symphony. | | | The symphony may be the best known of all works of European classical music, and is considered one of Beethoven's greatest masterpieces, composed whilst he was completely deaf. |

| | Miaskovsky, Symphony No. 6, Op. 23 (1923) |
| | He was prolific (27 symphonies, 13 quartets, 9 piano sonatas, 2 cantatas, numerous songs, piano and orchestral pieces) and widely performed in Russia and in the West. | | | The new Symphony was a farewell to the victims of these dark years, a spiritual journey, an attempt to live in music through the tragedy and mystery of death and to come to grips with it. | | | The Symphony ends, however, with the image of the beautifu,l eternal world (the main theme of the third movement)–the image of memory rather than hope. |

| | Piotr Tchaikovsky - Symphony 6 |
| | Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony is forever associated with the tragedy of his sudden death. | | | Certainly, other composers have written minor key symphonies without taking their own lives, but the usual expectation was that a symphony, even one in a minor key, would end with energy, if not with optimism. | | | Thus, though Tchaikovsky could compose quickly when the muse was with him, it was not until the end of August that he was able to complete the Sixth Symphony. |

| | But there is no question: the Symphonie pathetique, Tchaikovsky's Sixth and last, is his masterpiece, one which will endure as long as any of his music is known. | | | There is, however, no reason to doubt Modeste Tchaikovsky's account of his brother's end, told in one of the most fascinating of musical biographies. | | | Nevertheless, Tchaikovsky was happy in the creation of this symphony. |

| | Pathetique Symphony |
| | Tchaikovsky dresses up this melody in all sorts of finery, including pizzicato descending scales that might hint at the end of the first movement. | | | A movement with a basic beat in five was virtually unheard of in Western classical music in the 19th century (and is still rare in the standard repertory), but evidently well-received: it "brought the house down" in a London performance in 1894, according to George Bernard Shaw, who reviewed the concert. | | | Having sketched the new symphony with a speed that amazed even himself, Tchaikovsky took another six months to create the finished product. |

| | I have no problem with monophonic sound if the performance is exceptional, but this one isn't. | | | To this day, this symphony goes under this title even though the meaning is not what Tchaikovsky intended. | | | The first movement contains what is probably Tchaikovsky's best-known theme (aside from the first piano concerto), the second is an odd waltz, the third a stirring, frantic march in bold contrast to what follows. |

| | Tchaikovsky’s ‘Pathétique Symphony’ is music that can save your life. | | | Frankly, though, I was a bit surprised to see that recording picked, when Monteux’s best Tchaikovsky with the BSO (both in terms of performance and sound) were the later recordings of the ‘Fourth’ and ‘Fifth Symphonies’. | | | I have not heard his later Philadelphia remake, although I did hear Muti and the Philadelphia perform it live on tour in the early 1990’s, a performance which was not nearly as good as the EMI performance. |

| | [Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 6] notes by Paul Serotsky |
| | In Tchaikovsky's day, the left/right opposition of first and second violins would have revealed, antiphonally, the intended intertwining of two different strands. | | | Such discussions somehow seem to be compulsory when talking about the Sixth, but really they appear to be of no particular relevance to the music, the writing of which (we’re compelled to conclude) predated the first performance. | | | Yet, alarmingly, this famous theme is only a figment of the modern practice of placing first and second violins together. |

| | This is Bernstein's score to Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B Minor ("Pathetique"). | | | The conductor is referring to the unusual 5/4 meter that creates an off-kilter waltz, vacillating between divisions of 3 + 2 and 2+ 3, a wonderful example of musical ambiguity. | | | The concept of musical ambiguity plays a crucial role throughout the Norton lecture series. |
