My orchestra is currently playing Tchaik 5 and it's so much fun. Got to love the fff markings!
It's a pity we're only a small community orchestra and some of our players aren't very good. But we still go ok. Also that orchestra can't afford enough timps atm.
My girlfriend has played some of his violin concerto and I instantly fell in love it. When she was plying the second movement I instantly fell in love with this man

how good it would be to write such amazing music for such a beautiful instrument.
And also everything else he writes too is pretty fantastic just too much to say.
