Did you know?
- Though among the most popular composers worldwide, Tchaikovsky is known in the United States by just a few pieces.
- Tchaikovsky's music is very Russian even though he only rarely used actual folksongs in his works.
- Swan Lake, one of the greatest ballets of all time, was originally written as an entertainment for his sister's children.
- His two popular concertos—for piano and violin—were initially regarded as unplayable and were rejected by the intended performers.
Narrated by Arthur Hannes
SPECIAL BONUS: Following The Story of Tchaikovsky with Music, you will hear excerpts from the ballets Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake.
