Tchaikovsky's Symphony in F Minor.

An analysis of Tchaikovsky's Symphony in F Minor. The Symphony in F Minor is a standard four movement piece written in the key of F minor. Tchaikovsky composed this piece between 1877 and 78. He wrote it during the time of his disastrous marriage to Antonia Milyukova. Because of this, one can assume that the great passions and contrasts that are written into the symphony are a result of his marriage. But this might not be completely …

…Personally, I have come to enjoy and love this particular work. Tchaikovsky wrote this symphony during the most difficult time of his life, but each movement, though filled at times with total turmoil and confusion, just adds to and compliments the rest. This level of quality of composition shows the kind of talent that Tchaikovsky had at his command. I feel that he truly deserves his place among the master composers of the Romantic Period.
