P. I. Tchaikovsky and His Music

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840—1893) is one of the most important figures in the history of music. He wrote some of the most popular melodies ['mеlәdız] of all times. People all over the world know and love his ballet music.

Tchaikovsky was born in Votkinsk, Russia, in 1840. Young Peter showed an early interest in music. He began taking piano lessons at the age of five and very soon he learned to play better than his teacher. His mother died when Peter was fourteen, he felt very unhappy and began to write music which helped him. At the age of twenty-three he became a full-time student at St Petersburg Conservatory [kәn's3:vәtri]. The next twelve years of his life he devoted to teaching and taught students at the Moscow Conservatory. In the meantime he wrote music.

At the beginning of his career his compositions were not always successful. Many people thought his music was too modern and too sentimental. But with time audiences everywhere came to love Tchaikovsky’s musical style which was full of feeling and could excite them. By the end of his life, in the late 19th century Tchaikovsky had become the greatest living composer.

Between 1888 and 1893 Tchaikovsky visited Europe and the USA. In 1893 he gave the first performance of his Sixth Symphony ['sımpәnı]. He called it the “Pathetic” (full of feelings). Tchaikovsky considered his Sixth Symphony to be his best composition. It was also his last. Two weeks after he had finished this symphony he died.

Nowadays, Tchaikovsky’s operas and ballets are among the most popular performances all over the world. You can see such ballets as “Swan Lake”, “Sleeping Beauty” and “The Nutcracker” on many European and American stages. His operas are also well known and many Russian theatres stage them.
