Symphonie Nr. 5 e-moll,Op. 64

Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64 is the fifth symphony by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1888. The four-movement work exemplifies late Romantic orchestral writing with lush string melodies, expressive woodwind and brass colours and a recurring 'fate' motif that provides cyclical unity, reflecting Tchaikovsky's mature symphonic style and marking a central work in the late 19th-century symphonic repertoire.
