    14:21 I find it really mind-blowing that without knowing the context, you still know this part is about love and romance. Somehow, a composer knows how to put together some sound to represent love; and somehow, the audience will get it. We basically communicating with Tchaikovsky, even though he is long gone.

    the melody at 19:14 sounds like love, amazement, wonder, and disbelief all at the same time. the crescendo into 19:14 makes my heart swell as if it's going to burst out of my chest any minute. you expect the melody to be the theme from earlier but it isn't and Tchaikovsky keeps you on your toes. This sounds like the way you feel when you wake up with the warmth of the sun shining on your face after a good night's sleep. I could write a whole paper about this one piece.

      it follows the story exactly if Romeo and Juliet. Constantly evolving.But even at the beginning we hear a timid(in comprasin)version of the friar lawrence theme where as at the end we hear it as a full bodied piece , as a definite part,like it is now it’s reality.Just liek the start of Shakespeare he tells the story as it is,that two lovers die and tells the story at the beginning,but even in his play, he uses dark humour to refrence and forbods the lover death throughout till eventually he perfectly describes the encounter as it has acc HAPPENED now. Which is why i believe the themes evolve,esp friar lawrence,parts are heard through out the composition as it grows closer to its fate and it’s reality.

    18:10 - 19:45 is some of the most beautiful music in all the classical repertoire. Such haunting anguish and regret--the realization (too late) of two families who had to suffer through the tragedy of their children falling in love and dying for that love to put their petty quarrels behind them.

    Eyes, look your last!
    Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you
    The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
    A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
    Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide!
    Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on
    The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!
    Here's to my love! (drinks)
    O true apothecary!
    They drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.

    Tchaikovsky is one of my favorite composers. If you find this piece lovely, I highly recommend listening to Romanze. It is said that he wrote Romanze for a soprano that could never return his love, but that he himself loved very much. You can hear the agonizingly unconditional depth of his feelings for that person, and for that reason I feel that it's his best music.
