Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6, movement 3

So according to my album sleeve, the third movement of Tchaikovsky's Pathetique symphony is a "spirited march (with it's underlying tarantella theme in 12/8 time) represents the triumph of previous success" It's easy to hear the triumph and excitement in this movement, however, the beginning of this movement shows a trace of uncertainty and sadness mixed in with the celebrations. By the middle of the movement, all unhappiness is completely forgotten and the triumph of this movement is in full swing. Tchaikovsky builds the excitement and happiness until we reach a big bang finish, and we could almost stop right there- but no we don't. There's one more movement to come yet.

III. Allegro Molto Vivace
