Did You Know?
· The opening fanfare represents fate, according to the composer. “The fatal power which prevents one from attaining the goal of happiness”
· Tchaikovsky, who is generally agreed to have been homosexual (though he never came out in his lifetime), wrote the piece around the time of his disastrous marriage to a woman.
· Tchaikovsky dedicated the symphony to another woman, his patron Nadezhda von Meck. She supported him financially for thirteen years, but they agreed never to meet in person.
