‘Pathetic’ Symphony. Subtitle, authorized by composer, of
Tchaikovsky's sym. No.6 in B minor, Op.74. After f.p. in St Petersburg 1893, Modest Tchaikovsky suggested title ‘Tragic’ but composer demurred, immediately agreeing to
Pathetic. No reason in Eng. why Fr. title
Symphonie Pathétique should be used. Note that Russ. word
patetichesky means ‘passionate’ or ‘emotional’ rather than ‘pathetic’.
