Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5, II (Score)

[@elliotbutler-composer4958]

This piece is single-handedly the reason why I chose composition as my major, and each time I listen to it, it gives me chills. Thank God for Tchaikovsky.

[@alanpotter8680]

But you are born with the skill to compose, you don't become one by studying. All conservatory gives you, is theory (skill-wise). Something you should have already taught yourself at home, for the most part. I like to compose at home, for fun. I gave up on going to music school because I truly found it pointless in this time and age. It probably was a necessity 50 years ago, before internet, before globalization, but not anymore. But if I have to pick a piece of music that made me want to go deep into composition, was Rachmaninoff's The Isle of the Dead. Another masterpiece from another master.

Now that's how you do the great second movement of Tchaikovsky's 5th. To me, it's a beautiful and painful love scene.

[@rominn2184]

^ I find myself coming to this movement when I am facing immeasurable heartbreak and just cannot deal.

[@RoNiobium]

That horn solo gives me chills everytime.

[@IAmDylanPowers]

We all love that horn solo!

[@PentameronSV]

This movement makes me tear up every time I listen to it...

[@rsimolla]

Me too...

[@igveri]

The best melodist of history

[@lucasbrolia9167]

The Fifth Symphony by Tchaikovsky is one of the most sublime works I've had the pleasure of listening to.

[@benl8070]

Before the quarantine, my university performed this on one of the last days before spring break. I had been so stressed that week, performing on three recitals, and I won't lie, as soon as that horn solo started, I just bawled. Like, ugly cried.

[@FaithfulCharity]

I just went through a breakup and went to a performance of this. Glad Im not the only human to ugly cry to that horn solo....

[@davisatdavis1]

That horn solo is one of the most beautiful moments in music ever.

[@toucantoucan]

very good interpretation, very slow and powerfull

[@sydneycasey]

This is the piece that reminds me of rainy autumn evenings

[@joshscores3360]

To me: F and B flat = Autumn A flat and D flat = Winter B and E = Spring D and G = Summer

[@MC-cg2rr]

These first minutes with the cello, viola and bass is just absolutely unmatched. The way Piotr made the bass play the highest grades drives me craaaaaazeyyyy everytimeee 😫 Piotr, if only you could all see us, two centuries later, listening to your soul and going completely mad!

[@LuzDDiaz-sg9ng]

This expression is absolutely glorious! Thanks!

I am a 37 year old man and every time I listen to this I start bawling.

[@ninapetrovic5153]

[@careinn10]

[@maelperron_guerra4946]

Thank god for Tchaikovsky!

[@bryanstarkweather]

@6:48 probably the greatest German 6 chord of all time.

[@alexanderedwards4617]

He also makes a great use of it in his Neapolitan Dance from Swan Lake

[@frankborder]

oh hm didn't realize the tempo was grave possibile assai. thanks Bernstein for enlightening me.

[@PinacoladaMatthew]

that horn solo is the first sun light on a chill winter morning....

[@danteletta8333]

Melhor compositor que já existiu ..!!

[@igveri]

cada dia creio mais nisso, meu velho!

[@metodoinstinto]

tks for this. Post more stuff. Me gusta

[@cr4zyt3enager57]

If you guys enjoy this, Frank Sinatra sang “Moon Love” in 1939 which samples this well.

[@freeman3320]

If this is conducted by L. Bernstein, then it must be James Chambers playing the solo.

[@ghostboi71]

To tell the truth, I love the theme most.

[@braydenechols7236]

That one part always scares the heck out of me. you know what im talking about

[@mathew7723]

What is a score?

[@carlenger9707]

It's everything that you see. It gives the conductor all the information they need to know, like each instrument's part, how fast or slow everything is played, what instruments are used (as you can see at the very beginning), things like that. Composers use these to tell conductors or directors how to play their pieces, essentially.

[@nicholaslowther8492]

Does anyone know where I can buy the score?

[@rubendario6490]

You can get it free at IMSLP.

[@PentameronSV]

There you go: imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.5%2C_Op.64_(Tchaikovsky%2C_Pyotr)

[@mathew7723]

Can you explain what a score is?

[@Gray-dm1bw]

Ryzen BH a score is there basically a page or more of all of the instruments that are played in the piece for conductors know where to cue and stuff like a master key lol

[@dianaalvarez4171]

un besho a quien lo lea 🤪

[@brentwoodhornclub4092]

Great playing, awful tempi...

[@klop4228]

Very exaggerated tempi. Can't agree that they're awful, but certainly wouldn't be my first choice! EDIT: To be fair, Tchaikovsky's micromanagement of the tempo doesn't help. Bernstein's following that, at least :P
