TchaikovskyÊ¼s Sixth Symphony (1893), widely recognized as one of the worldÊ¼s most deeply tragic compositions, is also known for the mystery surrounding its hidden programme and for TchaikovskyÊ¼s unexpected death nine days after its premiere. While the sensational speculations about the composerÊ¼s possible planned suicide and the suggestion that the symphony was intended as his own requiem have long been discarded, the question of its programme remains.

Marina Ritzarev is an Israeli musicologist of Russian background.
