Symphony No. 6 (Tchaikovsky)

The Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74 is a symphony for orchestra. It was written by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1893, and published the same year. The publisher chose the subtitle Pathétique. Tchaikovsky conducted the first performance on 28 October 1893. The work is celebrated for its march-like Scherzo, and its "limping" waltz finale with a 5/4 time signature.
