Symphony No. 6 柴科夫斯基,彼得 交響曲

1893年10月16日（西曆10月28日），在柴可夫斯基的指揮下，柴可夫斯基的最後一部交響曲《牧歌》在聖彼德堡首演。這部作品的曲目是柴可夫斯基自傳體的，早在年初就已勾勒出草圖，並在夏季進行了配器。他曾在 1892 年記下了一個粗略的計畫。交響曲計畫的全部精髓就是 "生命"。第一樂章--所有的衝動、自信、對活動的渴望。必須簡短。(終曲--死亡--崩潰的結果）。第二樂章--愛情；第三樂章--失望；第四樂章--死亡（也很短）。在接下來的最後樂章中，音樂與死亡形成了鮮明的對峙，就像一開始一樣，音樂被委託給樂隊中音色較暗的低音樂器，漸漸消失得無影無蹤。柴可夫斯基去世前九天在聖彼德堡指揮了他的第六交響曲，也是他的最後一部交響曲。交響幻想曲《弗蘭西斯卡-達-裡米尼》創作於 1876 年，次年初在莫斯科首演

原文簡介:
Tchaikovsky's last symphony, called the Pathetique, was first performed in St. Petersburg under Tchaikovsky's direction on 16th October (28th October on the Western calendar), 1893. The programme of the work, which had been sketched earlier in the year and orchestrated during the summer, was autobiographical. He had jotted down a rough plan in 1892. The whole essence of the plan of the symphony is Life. First movement- all impulsive, confidence, thirst for activity. Must be short. (Finale -- Death - result of collapse). Second movement love; third disappointments; fourth ends dying away (also short). In the succeeding final movement there is a stark confrontation with death, as the music, entrusted as at the beginning to the darker toned lower instruments of the orchestra, fades to nothing. Tchaikovsky conducted his sixth and final symphony in St. Petersburg nine days before his death. The symphonic fantasia Francesca da Rimini was written in 1876 and given its first performance in Moscow early the following year.
