What is guaranteed to give me resounding fits of the vapors is his 1812 Overture, beginning with the very first bar with the Hymm, "God Preserve Thy People", and then all throughout the rest of the piece, I carry on as though I'd personally witnessed the sudden death of my entire family by firing squad!

[@mypianoschat9475]

4th Movement is just something, it is just a Funeral, nothing can top this level of death. Not even Mozart!

[@leonthomsen494]

Funny observation: the second theme in the second movement (20:10) also appears later in the fourth movement (42:34), but much darker.

[@FreakieFan]

Tchaikovsky also often does this in his 4th and 5th symphony. Later using the same melodies but in altered form (major/minor for instance)

[@johnnidark6463]

Lol don't heed @@FreakieFan. Great pieces are mountains to climb on and surpass. Guido is likely bitter not apparently having the inspiration and/or creativity you seem to possess.

[@FreakieFan]

@@johnnidark6463 Writing a 'composition' based on an established existing work counts as "creativity" these days? My god.

[@johnnidark6463]

​@@FreakieFan Correct, most masterpieces don't come out of thin air, but are the perfecting of predecessors' work and contributions. See Handel, who took from multiple different Baroque traditions throughout Europe, Bach's perfecting of contrapuntal forms he didn't invent, Mozart's entire output as an absorption, amalgamation, perfection of Classical styles invented by others throughout Europe, Brahms building on Beethoven, the Beatles taking from many people, etc. Mozart plagiarized and expanded on many others' works throughout his career; see for example the closing theme and chord progression from the 4th fugato movement of his Jupiter Symphony, which he lifted from the closing theme of the fugato 4th movement Michael Haydn's symphony of the same key, or his Requiem which is inspired by Michael Haydn's requiem in C minor (especially the Quam olim Abrahae, at the end of Domine Jesu, which is from Michael Haydn's own Quam oim Abrahae.) If they had youtube comments back then, I guess they'd be knocking anyone who used Alberti bass who wasn't D. Alberti himself, and Mozart's K183 Con Brio would be knocked for using Stamitz's Mannheim rockets. A composition building on preexisting music can count as creativity any day, and the quantity and quality of the creativity is based on what the new composer actually adds to and improves on the original. You didn't hear what Finn Music wrote, so of course you are not in any position to actually gauge what his level of creativity is. But we /do/ know that he imagines places where that music can be expanded/elaborated/ improved/perhaps built to greater heights and depths, even if a small improvement, and has the drive to execute, as well as the critical thinking attitude to not be easily satisfied with some predecessors' work as being sufficient. Much better that than a complacency and/or lack of imagination and inspiration to see past what Tchaikovsky created, as you have. IMO a great critical thinking composer should always ask of a piece, no matter how great it is, "hypothetically, if this is the threshold for garbage, what/where/how would great be?" Shakespeare, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Einstein etc didn't kick the ball forward by having the reverent attitude: "my predecessors did a great job, they are right, they did everything right, have perfected everything and did everything to completion; nothing more in this field is needed."

What is Beethoven's 5th doing in here? 27:00

[@Baton793]

Interesting to think that even though the piece was composed in the nineteenth century, and even though 58 years separate it and its recording and another 60+ the recording and us, we can still hear what the composer had in mind and what sounds he envisioned

The Pathetique is both Tchaikovsky's last and most tragic piece published during his lifetime.

[@philipconnelly1505]

Incorrect. It's a common misconception that has somewhat tainted people's reactions and interpretation of the work. The Pathetique was completed in August 1893. Between then and his death in November, he wrote the Piano Concerto No. 3. The Pathetique was just the last piece premiered in his lifetime.

[@fmyoung]

@@philipconnelly1505 "Incorrect" It's not really a piano concerto it was first supposed to be a symphony but then he reworked it as a one-movement Allegro brillante for piano and orchestra. It was published as opus 75 and only then, only after, did the publisher, not the composer, call it his 3rd piano concerto.

[@philipconnelly1505]

@fmyoung Still, the Pathetique wasn't the last thing he wrote. Let's not Romantize and mythologize it. Remember also that there is NO evidence that Tchaikovsky committed suicide. Few people would speak of the Sixth in the way they do had he written a seventh, eighth, ninth... I've nothing against the piece, it's great, but it's not the "suicide note" that people make it out to be.

[@fmyoung]

@@philipconnelly1505 I know I didn't say he took his life

[@NoNetPlays]

15:34 amazing...

[@Dylonely42]

Gorgeous.

[@nishanthpadigar8631]

It's interesting how he modulated from Em6 to Bm in the ending, because it's very traditional to modulate Em6 to B instead of Bm...

[@jamescrawford9883]

I have the Mravinsky, it is marvellous! My other favourite (2nd) Is Levine & CSO. Great, it’s a shame about his antics!

[@unmusicos7326]

Magnifique

[@Philobach]

faut etre fort pour savoir si bien orchestrer comme Tchaikovski l' était, mais ce n' est pas un chef d' oeuvre de beauté
