About this listen
This is under our “Opus of Obsession” segments for season two of All Around Classical.
In 1877, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky entered a marriage that collapsed in six weeks—and out of that crisis came a symphony forged in struggle. In this episode of Opus of Obsession, Ms. Shirley traces how the fallout from his union with Antonina Milyukova fed directly into Symphony No. 4 in F minor, dedicated to his patron Nadezhda von Meck. Tchaikovsky’s own letters call the opening fanfare Fate—the force that crashes happiness before it can bloom. Hear the human story behind the music, then listen to the symphony anew on our “Opus of Obsession” playlist on Spotify and Apple Music.
