Tchaikovsky's Pathétique And Russian Culture

Tchaikovsky¿s Sixth Symphony (1893), widely recognized as one of the world¿s most deeply tragic compositions, is also known for the mystery surrounding its hidden programme and for Tchaikovsky¿s unexpected death nine days after its premiere. While the sensational speculations about the composer¿s possible planned suicide and the suggestion that the symphony was intended as his own requiem have long been discarded, the question of its programme remains.
