Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Russian: Пётр Ильич Чайковский)(7th May 1840-6th … Read Full Bio ↴Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Russian: Пётр Ильич Чайковский)(7th May 1840-6th November 1893; Old Style 25th April 1840–25th October 1893) was a Russian composer. He wrote some of the world's most popular concert and theatrical music in the current classical repertoire, including the ballets Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, the 1812 Overture, his First Piano Concerto, several symphonies, and the opera Eugene Onegin. His names are also transliterated Piotr, Petr, or Peter Ilitsch, Ilich, Il'ich or Illyich; and Tschaikowski, Tschaikowsky, Chajkovskij and Chaikovsky (and other versions; Russian transliteration varies between languages).

Tchaikovsky was born in Kamsko-Votkinsk, Russia, to a mining engineer and the second of his three wives, a Russian woman of French ancestry. Musically precocious, he began piano lessons at the age of five. He obtained an excellent general education at the School of Jurisprudence and was a civil servant before entering the St Petersburg Conservatory from 1862 (the year of its foundation) to 1865. In 1866, he was appointed professor of theory and harmony at the Moscow Conservatory, established that year. He held the post until approximately 1878.

From 1878, Tchaikovsky focused primarily on composition. Tchaikovsky toured the United States in 1891 conducting performances of his works. In 1893, Tchaikovsky was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Cambridge University.

Tchaikovsky died nine days after the premiere of the Sixth Symphony, the "Pathétique". Most of his biographers have considered his death to have been caused by cholera, most probably contracted through drinking contaminated water several days earlier. In recent decades, however, various theories have been advanced by some sources that his death was a suicide. However, these theories have not yet been substantiated with proof.

Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide!
Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on
The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!
Here's to my love! (drinks)
O true apothecary!
They drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.

14:21 I find it really mind-blowing that without knowing the context, you still know this part is about love and romance. Somehow, a composer knows how to put together some sound to represent love; and somehow, the audience will get it. We basically communicating with Tchaikovsky, even though he is long gone.

Boccaccio1811 That's a good approach. Snobs are not right about pop being "silly", but there is reason to the claim that musical structure and complexity is much higher in orchestral music... for me that doesn't really matter though - just because pop uses simpler structures and 4 chords doesn't make it less able to do what it's meant to do though, which I think is what snobs should realise

18:10 - 19:45 is some of the most beautiful music in all the classical repertoire. Such haunting anguish and regret--the realization (too late) of two families who had to suffer through the tragedy of their children falling in love and dying for that love to put their petty quarrels behind them.

For real though, this music can be hard! I playing this on violin in late middle school. I practiced a whole bunch, and really thought I had it down.
Then our conductor said "At full tempo now"
X_X
It was definitely worth it though! Once we got it up to tempo, performing it felt amazing. Like the strings were on fire. I loved it, will never forget that feeling!

the melody at 19:14 sounds like love, amazement, wonder, and disbelief all at the same time. the crescendo into 19:14 makes my heart swell as if it's going to burst out of my chest any minute. you expect the melody to be the theme from earlier but it isn't and Tchaikovsky keeps you on your toes.

it follows the story exactly if Romeo and Juliet. Constantly evolving.But even at the beginning we hear a timid(in comprasin)version of the friar lawrence theme where as at the end we hear it as a full bodied piece , as a definite part,like it is now it’s reality.Just liek the start of Shakespeare he tells the story as it is,that two lovers die and tells the story at the beginning,but even in his play, he uses dark humour to refrence and forbods the lover death throughout till eventually he perfectly describes the encounter as it has acc HAPPENED now. Which is why i believe the themes evolve,esp friar lawrence,parts are heard through out the composition as it grows closer to its fate and it’s reality.

@@gabrielgan2971 No but a Canon is a style of music. The most common composer who used Canons in his music was Pachelbel. His most famous piece is Canon in D. Not many people like Canons apparently and, as a style of musical structure, they're somewhat easy to recreate in comparison to everything else

@@cadsy3394 it was a spongebob reference. But to argue with your point, tchaikovsky says otherwise : P , you're heard of his 1812 overture right?

I feel such a connection to the masterpieces he created...I just cannot explain why. So beautiful and fragile yet so strong and powerful.

THE greatest love theme in all classical music-- for lovers everywhere-their anthem. Embraces then shatters our hearts. Musical dramatic Genius. Cuts to the core of the famous lovers ecstasy and tragedy- and as in all great art makes universal.

Jacob Opper Ever heard his 6th Symphony ?
I think you might change your mind. I'm not saying that Romeo and Juliet is not good; it is genius. But his sixth.....is incomparable to any piece of music....it's just from another world!

Best Composition? Don't think so.

Jamais dans ma vie, je n'ai pleure en ecoutant a la musique. Mais, cette fois-ci, j'ai pleure. Je peux sentir la douleur et la passion que Romeo et Juliette sentent tout au long de cette piece. La douleur causee par l'amour impossible qui n'est realisable que par leur mort.

The full genius that is Tchaikovsky at its display in this work! The ending to me especially from around Minute 19 is underapreciated, how he resumes the secondary theme before the culmination that leaves the listener to wonder which one is the finale fanfare...
