Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64, is the fifth symphony by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed and premiered in 1888. The work is a late-Romantic orchestral symphony characterised by rich, expressive orchestration and recurring cyclical motifs that unify its four-movement structure, marking a notable example of Tchaikovsky's mature symphonic style and his use of thematic transformation.
