Talk:Symphony No. 5 (Tchaikovsky)

What exactly does this mean?: " As well, Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony finished before 1891 often the Pathetique Composed before death in 1893. The Significant of Nobility when Tchaikovsky remaining from the Providence to the Providence that only First and Finale Movement is in E Minor and E Major."

The grammar is not good and the meaning is obscure. Regards Jan 212.118.232.48 (talk) 13:07, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]


I am pleased to read that editing to make this interesting article esier to read is happening (e.g explaining the abbreviations) However it is a pity that the music for the themes is not shown and I hope that this addition happens to make reading truly enjoyable. Thanks, Ricky Ward, Chiang Mai.


Hi , Id like to share here an interpretation I've always had on Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony . I've never heard of this , so I don't know if someone has raised this before . I've read Tchaikovsky's biography and I haven't found any explicit declaration by the composer about this meaning . But I've always clearly felt a message from the composer in this symphony .

The whole symphony represents man and woman's life together .

The first movement represents man .

The second movement represents woman .

The third movement represents man and woman's youth playings .

The fourth movement starts with a nuptial suite , and whithin this movement there's even a passage that represents an orgasm .

If you had known about this interpretation before , I'd beg you quoted here the source , thanks .

Given that it, like many other four-movement symphonies, follows the fast-slow-waltz-fast pattern, I doubt that this was the case. You could say the same for many other symphonies. --jftsang 16:21, 12 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jftsang (talkcontribs)
