| | Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Under Kündinger, Tchaikovsky's aversion to German music was overcome, and a lifelong affinity to the music of Mozart was seeded. | | | Tchaikovsky's earlier symphonies are generally happy works of nationalistic character, while the later symphonies dwell on fate, turmoil and, particularly in the Sixth, despair. | | | Tchaikovsky stayed in Italy in the late 1870s to early 1880s and throughout the various festivals he heard many themes, some of which were played by trumpets, samples of which can be heard in this caprice. |

| | Biography - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Bio 288) |
| | Tchaikovsky's approach to solo piano music, on the other hand, remained mostly traditional, that is, it more or less satisfied the 19th-century taste for short salon pieces with descriptive titles, usually arranged in groups, as in the famous The Seasons (1875–76). | | | Furthermore, Tchaikovsky loosened the strictures of chamber music by introducing unorthodox meter in the scherzo of the Second String Quartet in F Major, Opus 22 (1874), and undermining the sense of key in the finale. | | | Although not as ostentatiously as the nationalist composers, such as Modest Mussorgsky and Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky was clearly inspired by Russian folk music. |

| | Island of Freedom - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky |
| | Tchaikovsky's lyric gift owes much to Russian folk song, which he quotes (First Piano Concerto, Second and Fourth Symphonies) or imitates (First Symphony, Second String Quartet), and to the 19th-century Russian salon song, whose traits permeate his vocal melody (songs and romances, Eugene Onegin) and even infuse his instrumental themes (Fifth and Sixth Symphonies). | | | Assigned on graduation to the Ministry of Justice, Tchaikovsky continued to be drawn to music, and in 1861 he began classes sponsored by the Russian Music Society. | | | The first mention of his involvement with music appears in a letter of 1844 that reports him as having helped compose a song, "Mama's in Petersburg." At home he heard folk songs, popular arias, and romances sung by his mother, and pieces played by a mechanical organ, among them excerpts from Mozart's Don Giovanni. |

| | Among the most subjective of composers, Tchaikovsky is inseparable from his music. | | | Tchaikovsky went on further tours, including to the United States and England, where he conducted his popular Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Opus 23 (composed 1874-75), in 1889 and his Fourth Symphony in 1893. | | | His compositions of the late 1860s and early '70s reveal a distinct affinity with the music of the nationalist group of composers in St. Petersburg, both in their treatment of folk song and in their harmonies deriving from a common link with Mikhail Glinka, the "father" of a Russian nationalist style. |

| | The final three symphonies (Symphony No.4: 4th movement; Symphony No.5: 3rd movement) are the ultimate success of this search, culminating in the brilliant and unorthodox solution of ending the sixth symphony with an extended slow movement that releases and extinguishes all the energies of the brilliant preceding march movement. | | | But as Stravinsky wrote, "Tchaikovsky's music, which does not appear specifically Russian to everybody, is more often profoundly Russian than music which has long since been awarded the facile label of Muscovite picturesqueness. | | | The memorable melodies, strong colors and uninhibited emotionalism of Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky have long made him one of the most widely popular of all composers. |

| | Where Mendelssohn's Italian music was put clearly to the service of a traditionally conceived symphonic form, Tchaikovsky found in his Italian melodies a means of escaping those formal restrictions. | | | Tchaikovsky's inspiration for the Capriccio Italien seems to have come almost as much from the model of one of his great Russian predecessors as from the melodies he heard everywhere around him during his 1880 trip to Rome. | | | In a letter to his patron Nadezhda von Meck, he declared, "I want to compose something like the Spanish fantasias of Glinka." He wrote again a week later, "I have already completed the sketches for an Italian fantasia on folk tunes for which I believe a good fortune my be predicted. |
