10:53 top 10 jump scares of all time
When this piece premiered, I wonder what the audience was thinking when they heard that.
@@farrelpermadi5471 haydn
You mean 10:51
The first movement alone is in my opinion one of the most beautiful thing ever written.
Feel like I've listened to the world's longest suicide note...
hmm conspiracy theories...
Simply. The most harrowing, soul shattering, display of the darkest most hideous depths of emotion in our entire race. I am not one for religion, but wherever in our universe you may now be, I wish you have found peace, Pyotr.
Tchaikovsky was also non religious.
Well said!
Tchaikovsky clearly knew of his impending fate. The whole work is laden with clues: The writhing, bittersweet 1st Movement... the 2nd Movement in 5/4 time, (A Waltz with a limp)...the intentionally reversed ordered 3rd and 4th Movements...Please READ closely the score at the opening bars of the 4th movement.... from a notation standpoint, has obviously trying to communicate something. It baffled me when I first studied it years ago. The tied-over triplets in the finale (in the basses).... rhythmically emulating a fading heartbeat. This piece and Gorecki's Symphony No. 3 are too much for me sometimes.
I found this Synphony very personal.
There's nothing hideous about this piece. Never understood what people are on about, this piece doesn't even have a pessimistic overall mood if you ask me.
The first movement is a symphony in and of itself.
All of Mahlers symphonic movement's are symphonies.
@Benji Gronlie There's ALWAYS that one guy who goes "BUT MAHLER THIS AND MAHLER THAT"... Always that one guy who says that Mahler is better in every way. He's not.
@@malkolmlind8598 I wasn't suggesting that Mahler was better, just that his symphonic movements are sometimes as long and expansive as entire symphonies.
Then I do apologize for using such a harsh tone. It's just that I've heard people compare Mahler to Tchaikovsky so many times before, and it really gets on my nerves that people have to appear better all the time.
STOP COMPARING COMPOSERS
36:53 I literally listened to the whole symphony now just to experience the change from the 3rd movement to the 4th movement. I can’t enjoy this when I get a yogurt ad and a Hefty ad. Time to rewind!
If you go to the end of the video and press replay, all the ads go away.
The title "Pathétique" is quite the biggest possible understatement for what he was trying to communicate through the music.
The amounts of turmoil and despair is only surpassed by Mahlers 9th.
But in a way Mahler's glance into the abyss was that of someone who accepted his fate, while Tchaikovsky was shattered by it.
Quite interestingly, Tchaikovsky wrote this while he was in good spirits and was enjoying significant success at home and abroad. As it happens, a lot of sad music is written when the composer is feeling good, and a lot of happy music when the composer was feeling really bad (such as Schumann's energetic 2nd symphony, written when the composer was thoroughly depressed and quite ill).
The title pathétique is also a major mistranslation from the original russian title
UnshavenStatue What is the original russian title?
Passionate, quite fitting
Very well put!
The last one (the last movement (4th)) is kinda like a Requiem or is a Requiem. After Tchaikovsky wrote this symphony, 9 days later, he was gone, he was dead.
It was 9 days after the premier of this symphony not after he wrote it
@@oceancheung6139 My bad, I thought I put in premiered.
@@larscain3263 No, he was just unhappy and was probably experimenting with faith, so he did not think through the actual huge risk of ordering cold water and consequentially dying from cholera.
@@larscain3263 Its just a theory though but its possible
A soul-shattering experience, especially if one is able to follow the score and see just exactly how Tchaikovsky accomplishes getting the sounds he wants to shatter your soul with. Don't listen to this right before you go to bed like I just did. I'm going to be awake for hours recovering.
Its 2:30am right now :)
Stephen
And you made the mistake of listening to it just now.
J J Townley Sometime-composer of Piano Concertos This is the first time in 29 years that I'm ready to hear this piece. The other uber depressing Symphony on my list is Gorecki's Symphony No. 3. Too painful....
"Uber-depressing" and 'soul-shattering" is right! :-)
@@JJTownley_Classical-Composer you can recover with beethoven's symphony 9 :)
I've always found the part at 19:32 to be incredibly moving. After all the emotions we've been through during this movement, this feels like we are accepting our fate. Sure it's in a major key, however it feels sad. I absolutely love this part.
Its almost like the death of one's long life, because youre happy from the life youve had, and its time to say goodbye.
The two saddest movements are the longest ones :(
I listen to this on November 6th, by pure coincidence. Rest in piece, Maestro Tchaikovsky. Your music has touched many.
Play f on your instrument to pay respect
Why do I randomly come on November 5th...
Tomorrow I will conduct the whole thing in my bedroom alone to pay tribute.
I have never been so thankful to have my heart broken
;-D
If young, your fingers inside your bottom and your heart well perhaps or still good before.
@@mauropastore4801 What the fuck?
@@mauropastore4801 one of the strangest comments I've ever read in CZcams, and I read a lot of comments.
Rest in peace, my brother. For have made well music of us all.
I practiced 40 hours a day and still not sick of this
turn it up for the ppppp then dat following ff
oh god xD
It's nice how you have the silence at the end. It really adds to the effect of the piece.
It's clear from the dynamic markings in the score that Tchaikovsky wanted the music to gradually fade into the background sounds of the auditorium, so that a person who was listening with their eyes closed wouldn't be able to tell exactly when the instruments stopped playing.
Silent last significance in real of air not papers is for the rest of! And not otherthing.
RoadkillX33
Signifying his death.
Honestly my favourite symphony of all time, thanks for uploading with score and with epic performance. 14:09
If you think about it, that part can sound like a very climatic part in a game where the villain actually does what they plan to do and the hero can’t do anything to stop it.
that part is also my favorite..... amazing
when u try to listen to that "ppppp" part at 10:34 with full sound (while using headphones) and after that the loud part comes(10:52)... god that scared the frick out of me 😂
Same omg😂😂
I never knew you could put so much pain, sorrow, and regret in a piece. the ending nearly killed me. the melody, the bass of the instruments makes you feel the pain of Tchaikovsky himself. the dynamics of every note in this symphony show you how life is represented. I mean I can’t talk I’m only 14. still, this has to be one of the most beautiful symphonies ever written in my opinion. everything that life has, is represented here, nearly all of it
Ayden Rodriguez Listen also to Mahler's 9th and even his 3th! Great symphonies which carry a lot of pain (9th) just as this Tchaikovsky's! Another wonderful is Bruckner's 7th. Its adagio is very painful with a bit of hope. Sibelius' 5th is really a beautiful work! Maybe you enjoy them; I hope so!
Renan Pablo I’ve listened to and studied most of Mahler’s symphonies now. I had no idea Mahler even existed when I wrote that comment. his symphonies are amazing. my favorite being his 3rd/6th/7th. they’re all amazing honestly. and I listened to Bruckner’s 5/7/9. all epic
You're right in that it's one of the most beautiful symphonies of all time and also the most painful and deep one, but it isn't just pain, it's the little but last happiness and thoughts of Tchaikovsky.
It's a shame that his life ended as it did.
The long-withheld resolution at 14:31 is the greatest moment of the entire piece IMO.
Yes! Years ago when I was in college we performed this in our regional symphony. Every single time we rehearsed and performed,, it absolutely felt like the whole room we were in was moving at that point!
Sean Brown I didn't think anyone felt the same way about this piece! I've always fantasized about being the typanist at that moment, the whole orchestra contorting itself around my one note....
I cry when I hear this moment every time. It's like a sad realization of the mortality of everything.
@@metalheadjock3513 That will be me pretty soon. I'm extremely excited.
The part is so dramatic, powerful, soul touching, and soul moving! It’s the best part that I like about this!
When i listen to this i always get the chills and have to look over my shoulders because it feels like something watch me. Scariest and most beautiful symphony ever. My favorite.

Спасибо!
So much emotion, Tchaikovsky was truly a genius.
Infinite Masterpiece!
@Constantinos Aspris Unfortunately
It was Tchaikovsky's Manfred symphony that brought me to my knees. It was dark, gloomy and didn't give me a second of reprieve. It resonated with my existential angst.
Check out this Symphony please! --> czcams.com/video/AIAzkO60sWc/video.html
listening to the finale (specifically the ending) after reading the true meaning of why he composed it like this got me into tears :(((
The last movement is turmoil and pain leading to ultimate tragedy.
An immortal symphony: genius ... love to listen to it hundreds times to discover every time something I've missed the previous one
The silence in the end is so beautiful
Beauty beyond description
10:51 fell out of my chair
14:30 this must be the ending theme of the Earth.
Indeed
Tchaikovsky dedicated this symphony to the last great love of his life: Vladimir Davydov. It was a non-reciprocal love, and in my opinion the true program of this symphony is that: the representation of this love, the passion, the obsession, the despair that Tchaikovsky felt for his beloved Vladimir.
I find it fascinating that, despite the homophobia of the time, he chose to dedicate this work to the man he loved.
Magnificent and epic! Thank you for including the score. Utterly fascinating and moving.
Excellent and with the score its an awesome experience. Thanks!
Greatest compozition of world musically arts! Chaykovsky great composer!!!
Tchaikovsky*
@@davisatdavis1 you're right
mi sinfonía favorita, gracias por subirlo con score 💜🎻
Joya del genial maestro ruso con un final atípico con ese prolongado silencio...lo más conmovedor de esta magnífica creación
my favorite symphony
As a bisexual man taunted by hiding my reality for the past 15 years, who has come out publicly yesterday, I thank this piece of music so much for helping me cope with the struggle within. Thank you for giving me this coping mechanism, Tchaikovsky.
The world is comming to an end really. To use somethig as transcendental this as a motive to think about something as low as sex is really a waste.
samoied exactly.
samoied much of Tchaikovsky’s work was influenced by his homosexuality too, so it’s not hard to think that. Much of his musical inspiration comes from him not being able to be accepted for who he was or who he loved.
@@samoied Sorry, homophobe. F*ck you, dude.
@@Sploooks exactly, my reasoning.
Mai ascoltato la Patetica di Cjaikovski eseguita così bene: stringata nei tempi, pastosa nella presentazione delle idee melodiche etc... (certo, l'aiuta una ripresa del suono, a dir poco, fantastica!).
OMG TCHAIKOVSKY WHYYY????😣😣😣💕 YOU MAKE ME CRY IN THIS PART!!! 14:09
Breathtaking performance.
Excellent!
Thank you.
I've spent... most of my life... imagining this score in my mind. Спасибо! Большое спасибо!
My favourite symphony.
What a conspiracy that he died a few days after the premiere of this piece.
Watch Twoset's conspiracy video if you haven't already. ;)
This is Gold! more like this please...
this is my favorite work
La coda de la finale sonne comme si la pièce se sentait désespérée mais essayait de reprendre des forces, mais à la fin elle s'éteint lentement. c'est à mon sens l'une des œuvres musicales les plus belles & déchirantes de tous les temps passés et de ceux à venir !
Thanks for uploading!
Nice to play the 4th Symphony first then this, the wonderful manic drive to achieve a triumphant ending (always nearly being undercut a la in a Beethovian way) at the end of the 4th can be finally commented as a final statement in the 6th, especially the extremity of the contrast of dynamics.
This is a nice symphony.
다른 악장도 좋지만, 4악장은 특히 미칠 듯이 애통하고 슬프다. 살면서 이렇게 슬픈 곡은 처음 본다.
역대급으로 동감합니다...
How beautiful can something be? Amazing Composer
I literally fell asleep until like 9:36 or where that surprise part in the first movement then that’s when I woke up lmao
Hear this yesterday from the same Gergiev.... awesome
Hope... Sorrow... Joy... Silence... Disparity... Death... New life... Hope... Rinse and repeat
5/4.... OMG
this is the only symphony I know whose grand finale is in the first movement.
10:51. (12:44)..
how the hell do u write a symphony like this?..
What do you mean? 🤔
@@dacoconutnut9503 10:51 Surprise (ppppp -> suddenly ff)
10:51 WTF
Tchaikovsky, where did you even learn to surprise people off from?
My teacher just gave me the excercise to make a piano arrangement of the 2nd movement. There is a print mistake at 21:20, where the vla and vlc keys swapped. I was scared to death. 😅
What a fun piece of music. Love it. Enlivens me no end.
13:45 yeah... Classical music is soooo boring
Someone give the principal clarinetist a raise!
12:18 Rachmaninov's obsession with his Third piano concerto
yes, now that you say it . i was always compared this passage with the string section (dubbed by the woodwinds) outburst from the bridge between the orchestral exposition and the first time the piano appears in 1st movement of Brahms 1st piano concerto ( the d minor one) EDIT: i put a link that opens at that moment czcams.com/video/rDhBywJ5zCU/video.html
Ah, so you tricked me into using my real name. That's OK.
This was an excellent rendition of "tyke 6" This performance was a virtual rollercoaster of emotions. The fast parts were really fast, the slow parts were really slow, and I think I felt everything the performers were trying to convey. It takes a "theater orchestra" to truly communicate the composer's intention
. Thank you for posting.
Spasibo!!!
God damn after that fourth movement I just feel so fucking empty
Nagyon köszönöm SuperGalaxy

Seems like the conductor really wanted to go home.

Anyone know what form the second movement is in?
It’s a 5/4 waltz, otherwise known as a “limping” waltz because to dance to this you’d have to limp an extra step in your routine. It was (and still is) very unique.

I believe those are the cellos. But yes, it appears as if it's real people murmuring the part.
This effect is produced thanks to the blend between cellos and violas. The violas in their low register produce a type of "hollow" sound that sounds like voices. Truly beautiful.
