Then the music whirled her away to Italy; the love scene of Palma and Sordello. It should have been the apex of the work. "Sounds too much like Tschaïkowsky's Francesca da Rimini," interrupted Rentgen. She was annoyed. "Why didn't you tell Van Kuyp before he scored the work?" she demanded, her long gray eyes beginning to blacken. "I did, my dear lady, I did.
The whole of this paper might have been devoted to a discussion of the technical side of Tschaikowsky's music, for the score of this symphony is one of the most interesting I know.
Looks like either French or German then. I'll send you the date. It'll be the second week in September. And you can come round to the theatre and try the piano Bechstein. 'And what do you think I had better play, Mr. Otto? 'You must play what you have just played, of course. Tschaikowsky's all the rage just now. Your left hand's very weak, especially in the last movement.
It is this unique fusion of apparently mutually destructive elements and instincts that gives to Tschaikowsky's music much of its novelty and piquancy. But, apart from this uncommon fusion, it must be remembered that his was an original mind original not only in colour but in its very structure.
It has that curious volubility and "mouthing" quality that sometimes gets into Tschaikowsky's music; it is plausible and pretty; it suggests a writer who either cannot or dare not use the true tremendous word at the proper moment, and goes on delivering himself of journalistic stock-phrases which he knows will move those who would be left unmoved were the right word spoken.
But whether surveyed with contemplative calm, or proclaimed with passionate remonstrance to an unheeding generation, the life vision of these two men is one and the same "the eternities, the immensities." And this same passion for the infinite is the informing thought of Wagner's tone-dramas and Tschaikowsky's symphonies.
Nevertheless, it may be that Tschaikowsky's attitude towards life, and especially towards its sorrows, the don't-care-a-hang attitude, is modern; and anyhow, in the sense that it is so new that we seize it first amongst a hundred other things, this symphony is the most modern piece of music we have.
