Tchaikovsky's final symphony has fascinated generations of music
lovers, amateur and specialist alike, since its first performance
just over a century ago. Timothy L. Jackson explores sensitively
and without prejudice the question of the Pathetique's program and
its relation to Tchaikovsky's homosexuality and death. The book
covers the work's conception, genesis, and reception, and presents
an in-depth analysis of its remarkable formal structure. The
reception chapter investigates the Pathetique's impact 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.
