Symphony No. 6 “Just as I was starting on my trip, the idea for a new symphony came to me, this time a program symphony, but with a program that shall remain unknown to all. Let them try to figure it out—the work will be called simply "A Program Symphony (No. 6)." The program for it is subjective through and through, and during my trip, as I composed it in my mind, I often actually wept. When I returned and set to work on my sketches my work went so rapidly that the entire first movement was finished in less than four days and the shape of the remaining movements was quite clear in my mind. There will be much that is novel in the form. The finale, for example, will not be a great allegro, but an extensive adagio.” -Feb. 22, 1893 “…I am confident in considering it the best and, above all, the "most genuinely sincere" of all my works. I love it as I have never loved any of my other musical offspring. “ –August 18, 1893
