Now That’s a Coda!
Codas are those extra endings with which composers often conclude one of the movements they have written – be that movement from a symphony, concerto, sonata, string quartet, solo piano…
Marvelous job, Maestro, as always! Thank you for doing such a splendid, insightful and careful deep-dive into the art and craftsmanship that Tchaikovsky, after much effort, put into creating this work. There really is no greater portrayal of young love in music than his Romeo and Juliet, and your thoughtfulness demonstrates it so admirably.
