Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto eclipsed all others in popularity with its agile tour-de-force qualities, although initially it was declared unplayable because of its technical challenges. It is characterized
by melodious themes and acrobatic demonstrations of virtuosity. In his Symphony
No. 5, Tchaikovsky used a new technique, moving a theme of fate and resignation forward
from one movement to another.
