| | Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | After Tchaikovsky's death, the composer Sergei Taneyev re-worked the abandoned symphony, added a piano part, and published it as "Third Piano Concerto by Tchaikovsky". | | | 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. |

| | Tchaikovsky used two Serbian folk songs as the basis for the melodies of the piece. | | | After Tchaikovsky’s death, the second symphony came to be known as "Little Russian" because of its use of Ukrainian folk tunes, and the arrangement and orchestration of their melodies. | | | Tchaikovsky declared after the concert that, "[He] could not have hoped for a better performance." From then on, this concerto has been one of the most frequently performed and best-known in the repertoire. |

| | Many Tchaikovsky compositions—among them The Nutcracker (ballet and suite, 1891-1892), the Piano Concerto no. 2 in G Major (1880), the String Quartet no. 3 in E-flat Minor (1876), and the Trio in A Minor for Violin, Cello, and Piano (1882)—have remained popular with concertgoers. | | | His most popular works are characterized by richly melodic passages in which sections suggestive of profound melancholy frequently alternate with dancelike movements derived from folk music. | | | From this period also date Tchaikovsky’s operas Undine (1869) and The Oprichnik (1872); the Piano Concerto no. 1 in B-flat Minor (1875); the symphonies no. 1 (called “Winter Daydreams,”1868), no. 2 (1873; subsequently revised and titled “Little Russian”), and no. 3 (1875); and the overture Romeo and Juliet (1869; revised in 1870 and 1880). |

| | Tchaikovsky wrote a considerable quantity of songs and duets, including settings of Goethe's Mignon songs as well as of verses by a number of his contemporaries. | | | Tchaikovsky provided a quantity of music for the piano, particularly in the form of shorter pieces suited to the lucrative amateur market. | | | Tchaikovsky's single Violin Concerto, rejected as being too difficult by the leading violinist in Russia, Leopold Auer, later found a firm place in repertoire. |

| | Tchaikovsky's talent for music is somewhat surprising given that there is no record of musicians in his family. | | | Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake" debuted in 1877; although the music was good, the performers did a bad job of it. | | | During his years at the conservatory, Tchaikovsky learned the Western musical technique that became characteristic of his music. |

| | The argument may go on for years, but it is purely academic for most of the millions of listeners who love Tchaikovsky's music for its mixture of haunting melodies, unfailingly inventive orchestration, and welling tenderness of expression. | | | Over at the Concert Hall, the Piano Concerto No. 1 will be played, as will the Violin Concerto, and the Variations on a Rococo Theme for cello and orchestra, along with many other pieces. | | | And let us not forget that there are many Tchaikovskys -- the virtuoso showman of the Violin Concerto and the aching, songful miniaturist of "None but the Lonely Heart"; the unfettered romantic of the last three symphonies and the coolly pristine neoclassicist who wrote the "Winter Daydreams," "Little Russian" and "Polish" symphonies that preceded them. |

| | 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. |

| | He was born in Riga in 1943 and became music director of the Oslo Philharmonic in the late 1970s, since when the orchestra has risen to being one of international status. | | | A long passage for full strings marks the turn of the tide, leading to the return of the hymn-tune and then the quick-stepping folk-theme in counterpoint with 'God save the Czar' as the national anthem of the time, punctuated with cannon-shot and crowned by a last wild peal of bells. | | | It was later twice revised before it began to win the widespread acclaim that has at times obscured its intrinsic musical merits. |

| | 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 eminent Russian composer Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky was born on May 7 (N.S.), 1840, in a settlement adjacent to the Kama-Votkinsk Metal Works (managed by his father) in the Ural Mountains. |
