True. In fact the 4th movement is Tchaikovsky's most tonally adventurous work by virtue of his using the augmented triad C,E.Ab (which implies the whole-tone scale) as primary tonal centers.
My first time hearing this symphony was last year going their the Muti/Philharmonia recordings, and This is EASILY 2nd Favorite of the 6th. It's just WAY too fun to listen to. Especially the 3rd and 4th movements.
The beginning of the last movement sounds very much like Mussorgsky, the Bogatyr Gates of Kiev. But Tchaikowskys symphony was published two years earlier.
athe whole symphony is genius. tchaikovsky became known for his finales; here almost the entire 4th movement is a finale; first time listeners must be puzzled, several times thinking 'this must be the end,' only to find out there is more and more and more. i just do not understand why his first 3 symphonies do not get the playing time of his last 4 (including the manfred). the 1st and second are exciting; the 3rd is a very different symphony, and not as popular, b/c it does not sound like p.i. tchaikovsky; but he demonstrated there that he could write a symphony of a varied sort. it has been labeled the most european of his symphonies. as far as the nickname, that was NOT p.i. tchaikovsky's but a friend and he approved of it. however, i feel, as many do that the nickname must now be what 'little russian' stood for = the ukranian symphony.
@Joangel Jara when i clicked on your comment, i was taken to the score! i had been wanting to follow it for a long time. what a thrill. this is one symphony that simply moves me to tears in the 4th movement. slava ukraini!!!!
then you would find the frankfurt radio symphony orchestra's version, the 4th movement to be wayyyyy too fast. (this is the ONLY recording of theirs i do not think is close to perfec.
In context of the recent events in Ukraine it might be interesting to know that the title "Little Russian" was NOT by Tchaikovsky but the Russian critic Nicholas Kashkin and it was at that time seemingly a demeaning name for the Ukraine regions that had come under Tsarist domination. Maybe it is time to stop using this term? If you need a subtitle you could well use "Ukrainian" instead. This would meake sense as the theme in the last movement is from the Ukrainian folk song "The crane".
Lol it also has 2 russian songs so what??😂😂 its little russian symphony also because Tchaikovsky wrote it after spending time in Kamenka. In Russian Empire it was in region called little russian
The matter is a bit more nuanced. The tsarist's term Малороссия is indeed literally translated as "little russia," but I believe all this has a greek influence, and for the greeks there was little greece (greece proper) and then a "big" greece, i.e., all the colonies. So "little" is not an insult, as such. To add to the confusion, while the "official" name was "little russia," there was also the term "Ukraine" in use in reference to the land pretty much in the current borders of Ukraine. The authorities did not like it, because they were trying to suppress the ukrainian desire for independence, and, in fact, did not consider the uikrainians a separate people. Prohibited their language by decree, that sort of s**t. In light of the recent events, we should absolutely abandon the "little russian" nickname and call it "Ukrainian." The song, which gives it this nickname, is indeed a Ukrainian folk song Журавель. Слава Украине, и смерть федерастам!
Hello poop-covsky. It has been 2 months and you STILL haven’t responded. Its done. Its finished. It’s over. I am unsubscribing, unfollowing, and DISLIKING all your content. You have lost a faithful fan. Goodbye.
31:16 I love so much timpani in Tchaikovsky’s orchestral music. This symphony’s ending is fire !
as is to in much of the romantic era symphonies. i mumble 'tympani roll' lol one of my favorit instruments.
That tympani, finishing up with the final whack at 22:37 is my favorite drum beat in all of his music.
What a great joy to
air conduct this work. ❤
24:31 Interesting to note that Tchaikovsky briefly uses a whole tone scale as a baseline in this section

probably my favorite tchaikovsky symphony, especially the fourth movement

The wonderfulness of the powerful poetic melody of this work is an order of magnitude amazing

Thank you for your advice.

hi tchaikovsky can i get a shout out in your next song plz? im a huge fan! cant wait for the new album!
Good that he revised and cut the finale !! lol
Hace unos años vi una partitura en que, además del sobrenombre, decía "ucraniana". Quedé.
Geoffrey Simon recorded the original version which I think is superior to the revised version.
No it is not. The development of the 1st mov. is much superior in the revised version.
5:40
Thanks
Yes ! ! ❤
Перевод в скобках неточный: вместо "со счётом" надо писать "партитура".
This recording's a little fast.
then you would find the frankfurt radio symphony orchestra's version, the 4th movement to be wayyyyy too fast. (this is the ONLY recording of theirs i do not think is close to perfec.
