[@mrtchaikovsky]

I would deem it more sensible to describe the finale as a rondo. It does not make much sense to speak of an exposition with repeat, since the second theme is each time in a different key (first in Bb minor, then in D minor). Maybe something like this: Introduction-A-B-A-B'-C-A'(fragment)-B''(fragment)-Coda Cheers!

[@samaritan29]

Thanks for the stamps(!)

[@marcosPRATA918]

Esclarecedor.

[@haoranzhou2944]

Movement IV is better described as Sonata Ronda Form than Sonata Form because of the repetitive theme 1(Primary Space). Overall form of the IV can be concluded as this: [A B AC B AC] [Development] [A Coda], for AC is the primary space of sonata form, and B is the secondary space. It's possible for rondo sonata form to have three times repeat of the primary space in exposition, but it's simply not possible for primary space to be repeated in exposition of sonata form.

[@haoranzhou2944]

@@mrtchaikovsky Simple Rondo Form can not describe the developmental character of this piece. Sonata Rondo form is probably the best choice here.

[@Someone2464-]

Agree.

[@doodle2763]

I absolutely love this interpretation of the first movement. Sometimes it feels too dainty, like the brass are too concerned with perfect intonation and rounded tone. I think the brass here absolutely nailed the opening of the piece to Tchaikovsky’s liking. The tempo, phrasing, and dynamics convey emotion so powerfully, and the vast contrast in dynamics, tone, and emotion is extremely apparent in this recording. The recording quality unfortunately takes away some of the amazing-ness of this performance, but it’s still great nonetheless.

[@JonasReynolds]

If you find this recording on its own then the quality is great, the video is using a lower quality version for some reason. Just search "Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra Tchaikovsky 4th Symphony" or something like that and it should pop up.

Tchaikovsky is said to have composed this in the aftermath of his failed marriage. Could all that brass and kettledrum, "fate", be the memory of his being screamed at, and constantly berated?

[@invinciblehorizon4599]

18:48 If anyone is wondering, its a bit rubato/free tempo because the conductor beats on the downbeats depending on the speed the soloist/cellists play but its around 132 = eighth note although the soloists and cellists add pauses so it wont be perfectly intime with a metronome

[@myhighmusicworld8036]

Please, not "(со счётом)" - it's wrong. Only "(с партитурой)" - it's true.

I was so glad to find the wonderful recordings of the 4th, 5th and 6th Symphonies of Tchaikovsky conducted by the maestro (I use not the word lightly) Mravinski. In dedicating the symphony to his widowed lady patron, he started his middle age free from financial concerns.

[@JavierVillamorLugo]

La fanfarria del principio es trasladada de las trompas a las trompetas, con lo cual se recrea un tema de juicio. Seguidamente hay otro tema melódico, que consta de 4 notas y de 7, con algún cromatismo lo cual le otorga un carácter patético; éste se desarrolla para desembocar en un final fa mayor. Más lento aparece otro tema nuevo, también con cromatismos pero más pausado. Los timbales rubrican la melodía con golpes de si b - fa. Grupos de 5 notas cromáticas en diálogo crean un ambiente de calma. Pero esta nueva melodía está salpicada con la anterior. Reaparece la fanfarria del juicio, contestada por diseños de la melodía pricipal. La anfarria va modulando en distintos diseños orquestales hasta que culmina en tutti. Se vuelve al segundo tema repitiéndolo de forma literal. Conversan las cuerdas con las maderas. Se repite la fanfarria pero al revés:trompetas trompas. La coda eleva un tema nuevo. Después el primero finaliza brillantemente el movimiento. Al tema del oboe le sigue la cuerda grave. Luego hay una idea melódica ascendente. Se repite la melodía, pero esta vez con un contrapunto de la flauta. Otro tema aparece en un esperanzador fa mayor. Tras un clímax la música se desvanece, con figuraciones rápidas cromáticas. Los violoncellos en solo elabora nuevas figuractenes. Al final es el fagot quien canta la melodía. En el tercer movimiento hay un pizzicato obstinato. El segundo tema en la mayor corre a cargo de la maderea. Las tropas enuncian una figutación más dinámica. Con la repetición del pizzicato termina el movimiento. En el cuarto movimiento 4 notas están seguidas por una figuación de semicorcheas. El tema cambia a menor en el oboe hasta que se llega a un tutti. Le sigue un pasaje fugado. Se reexpone el primer tema. El segundo tema está en los violines con contrapunto de la madera hasta que llega de improviso la fanfarria del primer movimiento; En un positivo fa mayor, la música se encamina a una drandiosa coda. 😊 😊 ❤
