The Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was composed between May and August 1888 and was first performed in Saint Petersburg at the Mariinsky Theatre on November 17 of that year with Tchaikovsky conducting. It is dedicated to Theodor Avé-Lallemant.
The fifth symphony was composed in 1888, between the Manfred Symphony of 1885 and the sketches for a Symphony in E♭, which were abandoned in 1892 (apart from recuperating material from its first movement for an Allegro Brillante for piano and orchestra a year later). As for the numbered symphonies, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 was composed between Symphony No. 4, which had been completed ten years earlier, and Symphony No. 6, composed five years later, in the year of the composer's death.
Like the Symphony No. 4, No. 5 is a cyclical symphony, with a recurring main theme. Unlike No. 4, however, the theme is heard in all four movements, a feature Tchaikovsky had first used in the Manfred Symphony, which was completed less than three years before No. 5.
The symphony is in four movements:
1. Andante – Allegro con anima (E minor) – Molto più tranquillo (D major – E major)
2. Andante cantabile, con alcuna licenza (B minor – D major)
3. Valse. Allegro moderato (A major) (Trio in F♯ minor)
4. Finale: Andante maestoso (E major) – Allegro vivace (E minor) – Meno mosso (E major)
The piece of this video, "Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64 (4º Mov., Finale: Andante maestoso)", is the fourth movement of the Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64.
Performers:
- NHK Symphony Orchestra
- Stanislaw Skrowaczewski (Conductor)
