5.0 out of 5 stars Fate. Bittersweetness. Joke. Russian Folk Song. = FANTASTIC, November 25, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Symphony No. 4 in F Minor: Opus 36 (Dover Miniature Music Scores) (Paperback)

The "Fate" theme is from the first movement. The bittersweetness is the the second movement. The joke or "Scherzo" is in the third movement, and the Russian Folk song is the fourth movement.

FANTASTIC. When I got this item of Tchaikovsky's fourth symphony, I was really enthusiastic with it. I'd always like to read it whenever I felt like to listen to the symphony, and I'm really inspired by the notes everytime I see it. Music has been my obsession for many years, and as I see and hear Tchaikovsky's fourth symphony, I feel the great expressions he's expressing. Tchaikovsky, to me, is a composer you could sense out quite easily. I'd say that he's nearly as famous as Beethoven.
