Symphony No. 6 in B Minor: Op. 74

by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

The brooding melancholy that pervades many of Tchaikovsky's compositions is perhaps most concentrated in his Symphony No. 6, the "Path?tique," a remarkably innovative, highly personal, and deeply emotional work. A perennial concert favorite since its premiere in 1893, this symphony is also characterized by two of the composer's most consistent and memorable contributions: his effortless melodic invention and superb orchestration.

Great edition

This edition of the Sixth Symphony is a great one in terms of quality, readability and presentation. The Sixth Symphony is probably one of Tchaikovsky's most famous works. The first movement is such a beautiful and emotional piece of music. The other movements are wonderful too, but I have a weakness for the first one. It is always interesting to read the score - while listening to the music for example - for there are so many details one could simply miss.
