Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky composed the suite to his ballet The Nutcracker in January/February 1892, at the same time that he was still orchestrating the ballet music. The score of the suite was thus finished before the complete score of the ballet and before the work was given its definitive title. The world premiere of the suite took place in St. Petersburg on 7 March 1892 under the direction of the composer. First editions of the score were published that same year by three publishing houses.

Together with Bruckner's abandoned and fragmentary 9th Symphony and Dvoraks Symphony from the New World, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Symphony no. 6 closes the tradition of the romantic symphony. Yet from several points of view, the work also anticipates the orchestral music of the 20th century. The Symphony was no doubt given its nickname Pathetique after the world premiere by Modest Tchaikovsky, the composers brother.

In addition to Tschaikowsky's original text, the score also contains an alternative scoring in small print.
