Fatum, op. post. 77

Fatum, or Фатум, meaning Fate, is a "symphonic fantasy" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, given the opus number 77 after his death but more representatively listed in the Tchaikovsky Handbook as TH41. It was written in 1868 and premiered the following year. Tchaikovsky later tried to destroy copies of the score; the work was however rescued and published three years posthumously.
