Music is nothing more than man’s thought in another form,
\nwe all know that.
\nThat said and understood, let me ask you, “have you ever
\nheard a man describe his knowing, coming death in
\nmusical terms?” If not, I suggest you find that quiet space
\nand listen to Peter Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony.
\nPay particular attention to the last movement. I consider
\nit a codicil in many respects when the composer became aware
\nof his soon to come demise.
\nIt is a musical description of how he sees, feels, thinks
\nas life slips away, indeed you hear his last breath,
\nyou hear his heart stop.
\nHe died nine days after the initial performance which
\nhe conducted.
