A Brief History of Tchaikovsky

[@byronchandler5000]

I agree, Tchaikovsky is truly one of my favorite composers as well, cuz the tones in his music varies, everything from sad and depressing, to happy and cheerful, to dark and sinister.

[@asloii_1749]

he does every emotion perfectly

[@LeCyanMan]

my "ex" once said that he didn't like Tchaikovsky's music bc he was too dark and powerful and I just was so thrown aback, that's exactly why I love his music, although I find his music more powerful than dark

[@mysteriev7071]

Agree, I love his slavonic march

[@asloii_1749]

Listen to his violin concerto and say its dark with a straight face

[@lindaclark9925]

Dark. Yeah right. Every time you are tapping your toe to a tv add or Some other bright and airy or dramatic catchy tune....BING BING BING

Theme from Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture my favorite melody of all time. Started piano as an adult and one of my books from the Bastien series has an arrangement of the melody for piano and it has been burned deepest into my piano memory bank

Thank you for these videos! I'm Russian and my favorite composer is indeed Tchaikovsky. I play a couple of waltzes and a polka for dances. So deep and inspiring. Full of life (as your videos).

[@raminagrobis6112]

Hello Allysia, A fellow Canadian here. Tchaikovski is one of my favorite Romantic composers. Are you familiar with "Music Lovers", a movie by Ken Russell based on the life of the composer? It takes many artistic liberties with the subject, but for me, that movie was my first real introduction to his music (apart from a familiarity with the Nutcracker from childhood, and the Theme from Romeo and Juliet. I am just curious about your take on that movie (if you've seen it).

[@artlessafi]

I advise you to watch “La Femme de Tchaikovski“, incredible movie on many levels. And then you can try saying “she kinda made his life miserable” about Antonina but I bet you, you wouldn’t be able to.

[@JinJinDoe]

According to wikipedia, his sponsor lady stopped the money flow at some point and after that he never wrote her a single letter again, so... Kinda makes me think in the genuineness of their 'friendship'.

[@claytonbenignus4688]

Please also do Mussorgsky, Borodin, and Rimsky-Korsakov.

[@communismwithgiggles2515]

Tchaikovsky, although praised for bringing Russian composers into the scene, also often overshadows them. How many people have heard of Antoly Lyadov?

[@terra5491]

It is not truth. Every one educated enough knows at least Flight of Bumblebee and Shaheresada by Rimski-Korsakov, Second Piano concert by Rahmaninov, opera Prince Igor by Borodin, Romeo and Julliete Knights dance by Prokofiev. At least they head the music cos it is used everywhere. And a bit more educated people heard about Glinka, Stravinski, Balakirev, Shostakovich etc

[@weebishusername9288]

May I point out that a Russian man was the one to use cannons as an instrument?

[@orencikensoleta414]

If I am not mistaken, Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony was inspired by Antonina's death.

You are mistaken.

Editor needed. "Friendship to"? No. "Corresponded only by letters." That's what correspondence meant before email. Music before the heyday of Tchaikovsky was "bombast"? Hmm. Ever heard Schubert? Chopin?

[@susanpower9265]

no mention of the composer attempted suicide by standing in the frozen river to catch pneumonia only a few weeks after his disastrous marriage/who cares whether the orthodox priest who married Tchaikovsky had properly prepared this couple spiritually for their forthcoming marriage and who therefore cannot be totally absolved from blame in this suicide attempt aged 37/ neither can his family either be absolved since younger brother Modest Tchaikovsky in his biography of his older brother mentions that their uncle also called Piotr and who was the brother of their father Ilya was exceptionally religious

[@reneiloe_m]

i think im the only one who gets tchaikovsky and stravinsky mixed up

[@nobodysalterego2832]

If it helps to separate them, Stravinsky once said Tchaikovsky was the most Russian of them all.

@PenusButt-op9ul - Yes, most of the male ones preferred women. Berlioz is said to have dedicated his Symphony Fantastique to an Irish actress. Bach was married and raised little composers. Brahms never married, but is said to have had a string of affairs with women. Schumann married Clara who herself became a prolific composer.

"Early life and stuff like that." Sets the tone. "Then his later life and his death." Big smile. Mispronounces his middle name. The cutesy, hip- hop & cool approach here really does "give a low class impression". Not to mention the nasal voice, the uneven, unpleasant vocal emphases, the wild gesticulating. Ouf! 😕 "Before we go any further, let's take a look at his personal life." How is that NOT going any "further"? His wife was LED to BELIEVE she was getting a husband... not really a character flaw. Ofc Nathalya was better for him. She didn't expect him to be a husband. Poor wonderful Piotyr Illyich. Love his music & am (or was) v interested in his story, most of which I happily know. But this? Really. PS: I am also "craving more depth".
