Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Russian Composer
(1840-1893)
Tchaikovsky became a serious composer in
his mid teens, before continuing his study at
the St. Petersburg Conservatory. After Piano
Concerto No.1 was played in Boston,
Tchaikovsky became widely popular,
producing commissions on a regular basis.
Although he led a controversial
personal life, his work continued to show
greatness, as seen in the works of “The
Queen of Spades” and the ballet “The
Nutcracker.” Known for his harmonies and
picturesque orchestration, Tchaikovsky
transformed the ballet genre into the
grandly-staged musicals of today.
