Who is Tchaikovsky
Who is Tchaikovsky?
Tchaikovsky wrote his first surviving piece: a waltz dedicated to his second governess in 1854. Tchaikovsky then moved to Moscow and commenced to teach music theory at the school that was to become the Moscow Conservatory, taking a position that he had been offered by the director, Nikolay Rubinstein, who would conduct Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet overture in 1869. Athough it was written after his first symphony, which he composed in 1866 and his first opera.
Tchaikovsky was invited to the inaugural concert at Carnegie Hall in 1891, where he conducted. Shortly after the premiere of his final symphony Pathétique, he became ill from cholera and died four days later. Tchaikovsky’s expressive melodies and orchestrations made him an audience favorite beyond Russia, and his international travels included an American tour in 1891. Peter continued to do so for about twelve years, until his life was changed by a wealthy woman, Nadeszhda von Meck. She lived his music and agreed to support him so he could spend all of his time composing music.
