520 a| Tchaikovsky's final symphony has fascinated generations of music lovers, amateur and specialist alike, since its first performance just over a century ago. The author explores sensitively and without prejudice the question of the program of this piece and its relation to Tchaikovsky's homosexuality and death, interpreting the symphony as an erotic drama of the composer's love for his nephew "Bob" Davidov, richly adorned with intertextual references to Wagner's Tristan, Bizet's Carmen, and Tchaikovsky's own operas. The book covers the Sixth Symphony's conception, genesis, and reception, and presents an in-depth analysis of its remarkable formal structure. The reception chapter investigates the impact of the Pathetique on Tchaikovsky's younger contemporaries, most notably Mahler and Rachmaninov, and on more recent Russian composers like Shostakovich and Schnittke. Also explored is the dark side of the symphony's political interpretation in the twentieth century, especially its transformation into a cultural icon of the Third Reich.;

Abstract	Tchaikovsky's final symphony has fascinated generations of music lovers, amateur and specialist alike, since its first performance just over a century ago. The author explores sensitively and without prejudice the question of the program of this piece and its relation to Tchaikovsky's homosexuality and death, interpreting the symphony as an erotic drama of the composer's love for his nephew "Bob" Davidov, richly adorned with intertextual references to Wagner's Tristan, Bizet's Carmen, and Tchaikovsky's own operas. The book covers the Sixth Symphony's conception, genesis, and reception, and presents an in-depth analysis of its remarkable formal structure. The reception chapter investigates the impact of the Pathetique on Tchaikovsky's younger contemporaries, most notably Mahler and Rachmaninov, and on more recent Russian composers like Shostakovich and Schnittke. Also explored is the dark side of the symphony's political interpretation in the twentieth century, especially its transformation into a cultural icon of the Third Reich.
