2. Tchaikovsky's Fifth

After the second performance of his Symphony No. 5, Tchaikovsky claimed the work a failure. When Chopin first played his Piano Concerto No. 2, he was proclaimed a national hero. Despite these varied premieres, both compositions have now attained immortality. Composer Osvaldo Golijov’s piece was inspired by a book by Galileo.
