"Pathetique" is one of Tchaikovsky's best known works, premiering only nine days before his death, and some say that this symphony reflects Tchaikovsky's own conviction that his death was surely imminent.

"Pathetique" doesn't end in a traditionally forceful way, instead ebbing and flowing into softer, quieter notes until nothing but silence is heard.

"Once Upon a Time in the West" is some of the saddest music I have ever heard (I did also play "Pathetique" and "Moonlight Sonata").

To me it's a little bit like Tchaikovsky – my better self tells me that there's nothing much after the death of Bach to worry about, my unregenerate self says "Yes but go on put on the 'Pathetique' and wallow".
