What exactly does this mean?: " As well, Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony finished before 1891 often the Pathetique Composed before death in 1893. The Significant of Nobility when Tchaikovsky remaining from the Providence to the Providence that only First and Finale Movement is in E Minor and E Major."

The grammar is not good and the meaning is obscure. Regards Jan 212.118.232.48 (talk) 13:07, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am pleased to read that editing to make this interesting article esier to read is happening (e.g explaining the abbreviations) However it is a pity that the music for the themes is not shown and I hope that this addition happens to make reading truly enjoyable. Thanks, Ricky Ward, Chiang Mai.

Hi , Id like to share here an interpretation I've always had on Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony . I've never heard of this , so I don't know if someone has raised this before . I've read Tchaikovsky's biography and I haven't found any explicit declaration by the composer about this meaning . But I've always clearly felt a message from the composer in this symphony .

The whole symphony represents man and woman's life together .

The first movement represents man .

The second movement represents woman .

The third movement represents man and woman's youth playings .

The fourth movement starts with a nuptial suite , and whithin this movement there's even a passage that represents an orgasm .

If you had known about this interpretation before , I'd beg you quoted here the source , thanks .

Given that it, like many other four-movement symphonies, follows the fast-slow-waltz-fast pattern, I doubt that this was the case. You could say the same for many other symphonies. --jftsang 16:21, 12 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jftsang (talk • contribs)

Analysis[edit]

This section is not sourced and is too technical for the scope of Wikipedia. 184.56.207.146 (talk) 06:33, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would refer to the article on the Goldberg Variations as a possible amount of depth of analysis. --Blehfu (talk) 06:42, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've started cleaning up the formatting to make the structure more apparent. I'm also tying in references to the more technical terms in the analysis. I think both these things make the section much more understandable and I do not believe that it is too technical. ZoneAlarm5 (talk) 19:35, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Order of sections[edit]

Consistent with many other articles about symphonies on Wikipedia, the "Instrumentation" section should not be last. It should at least come before "Uses of the symphony"; however, I believe it would best be between "Place of the 5th Symphony among Tchaikovsky's later symphonies" and "Description of the work". The section should be moved. --125 Beethoven (talk) 16:57, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
