Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony

3 concerts

Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64 is a four-movement symphony composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky between May and August 1888. First performed in Saint Petersburg on November 17, 1888, with the composer conducting, the cyclical work is celebrated for its recurring "fate theme" that transforms from a brooding, funereal march into a triumphant, blazing major key procession by the finale.
