'From darkness to light', 'Thus Fate knocks at the door'. What with alleged quotations from the composer and the wildest Romantic interpretations, it would be impossible to enumerate all the commentaries that have accompanied 'The Fifth' ever since its premiere. So, what if we simply went back to the original score?
