my "ex" once said that he didn't like Tchaikovsky's music bc he was too dark and powerful and I just was so thrown aback, that's exactly why I love his music, although I find his music more powerful than dark
I agree, Tchaikovsky is truly one of my favorite composers as well, cuz the tones in his music varies, everything from sad and depressing, to happy and cheerful, to dark and sinister.
Our family is from his sister I believe and we are all quiet proficient in the arts and I played violin for 3 years and when I did I didn't know I was related to him and I am proud
Theme from Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture my favorite melody of all time. Started piano as an adult and one of my books from the Bastien series has an arrangement of the melody for piano and it has been burned deepest into my piano memory bank
Thank you for these videos! I'm Russian and my favorite composer is indeed Tchaikovsky. I play a couple of waltzes and a polka for dances. So deep and inspiring. Full of life (as your videos).
Thank you from Russian from Russia ))) It was a big pleasure for me to listen to the biography of my favorite composer in English - one of the most elegant languages ))) With love from someone who liked your very good video )))
Hello Allysia, A fellow Canadian here. Tchaikovski is one of my favorite Romantic composers. Are you familiar with "Music Lovers", a movie by Ken Russell based on the life of the composer? It takes many artistic liberties with the subject, but for me, that movie was my first real introduction to his music (apart from a familiarity with the Nutcracker from childhood, and the Theme from Romeo and Juliet. I am just curious about your take on that movie (if you've seen it).
2:58 that monument of Tchaikovsky actually locates in Moscow Conservatory, the statue you usually come across in St. Petersburg Conservatory is Rimsky-Korsakov's
It is not truth. Every one educated enough knows at least Flight of Bumblebee and Shaheresada by Rimski-Korsakov, Second Piano concert by Rahmaninov, opera Prince Igor by Borodin, Romeo and Julliete Knights dance by Prokofiev. At least they head the music cos it is used everywhere. And a bit more educated people heard about Glinka, Stravinski, Balakirev, Shostakovich etc
According to wikipedia, his sponsor lady stopped the money flow at some point and after that he never wrote her a single letter again, so... Kinda makes me think in the genuineness of their 'friendship'.
I advise you to watch “La Femme de Tchaikovski“, incredible movie on many levels. And then you can try saying “she kinda made his life miserable” about Antonina but I bet you, you wouldn’t be able to.
no mention of the composer attempted suicide by standing in the frozen river to catch pneumonia only a few weeks after his disastrous marriage/who cares whether the orthodox priest who married Tchaikovsky had properly prepared this couple spiritually for their forthcoming marriage and who therefore cannot be totally absolved from blame in this suicide attempt aged 37/ neither can his family either be absolved since younger brother Modest Tchaikovsky in his biography of his older brother mentions that their uncle also called Piotr and who was the brother of their father Ilya was exceptionally religious
Editor needed. "Friendship to"? No. "Corresponded only by letters." That's what correspondence meant before email. Music before the heyday of Tchaikovsky was "bombast"? Hmm. Ever heard Schubert? Chopin?
OMG. Do some research on pronunciation. Nadezhda and Bizet. Really??????????!!!!!!!!!!! Discredits your scholarship (which is actually good)….but….stopped watching.
@PenusButt-op9ul - Yes, most of the male ones preferred women. Berlioz is said to have dedicated his Symphony Fantastique to an Irish actress. Bach was married and raised little composers. Brahms never married, but is said to have had a string of affairs with women. Schumann married Clara who herself became a prolific composer.

"Early life and stuff like that." Sets the tone. "Then his later life and his death." Big smile. Mispronounces his middle name. The cutesy, hip- hop & cool approach here really does "give a low class impression". Not to mention the nasal voice, the uneven, unpleasant vocal emphases, the wild gesticulating. Ouf! 😕 "Before we go any further, let's take a look at his personal life." How is that NOT going any "further"? His wife was LED to BELIEVE she was getting a husband... not really a character flaw. Ofc Nathalya was better for him. She didn't expect him to be a husband. Poor wonderful Piotyr Illyich. Love his music & am (or was) v interested in his story, most of which I happily know. But this? Really. PS: I am also "craving more depth".

Dark. Yeah right. Every time you are tapping your toe to a tv add or Some other bright and airy or dramatic catchy tune....BING BING BING

Many have composed cannons, but only Tchaikovsky composed FOR cannons
Yes
@@tteerabeats9116 Tchaikovsky always yes
Canons, not cannons.

You’re alive!
Tchaikovsky ur the the clone of the other tchaikovsky

If my teacher in music was this beautiful then I'll never miss a class. XD

This was really smashing. Thanks very much for sharing.
Love the way you do these videos! Full of content and so interesting
interesting. When she said he prefer the company of man I already knew what that mean.
And it's pretty cool his pen pal respect his sexuality
Great video- very informative while being easy to follow. Thanks for the awesome content!
Thank you pianoTV for uploading and presenting.

I like your pace. Nicely done.
I would love to see the easiest and hardest pieces of Poulenc! Love his Villageoises, but don't know where to go next.
Thank you for this concise summary of a great composer. I learned about this way back at middle school was a pleasure to revisit this!
Thank you for the video!
Love these history lessons. Thank you!
Love the video! Could you please do a brief history of Rachmaninoff and some of his pieces?
Wonderful ! Thank you for posting.
hi, can you make a video on Rachmaninoff pieces ranked by difficulty?. Please, i love his piano music.
sorry for my English and regards from Chile.
:)
matias fuentealba hola weón ;) start with the prelude in C# minor. After that, check out the preludes op. 23, then the etudes. It's all free on IMSLP
Patrick McKernan wenaaa xD jajsjjsa
That would be great!
Thanks for this....I have a huge soft spot for Pas De Deux
You saved me. Thanks 🙏🏻
Your beautiful. Thanks for the knowledge
I just love the dark tonality of his work def my favourite ✌️😊
A Brief History of Robert Schumann?
Who?
Robert Schumann
Never heard of him.
Richard Wagner :D
Richard Wagner Yes. This brief history is at about this level. It is okay for you to be here.
I love these videos! I listen to them podcast style with the occasional glance to the screen. Love this series and keep up the good work! 💛
Tchaikovsky 💚
Thank you very match❤🕊
are you russian?
Tchaikovsky, although praised for bringing Russian composers into the scene, also often overshadows them. How many people have heard of Antoly Lyadov?
It is not truth.

can you make a video on poulenc
Hello!! Great video!! Do you have any tips on learning the nutcracker March??
Please also do Mussorgsky, Borodin, and Rimsky-Korsakov.
Great video.
These history episodes are my favorite. Big history buff but can't play the piano so these are my niche. BTW Tchaikovsky's IQ must of been impressive.
TehGodLord Must HAVE been ...
Estimated 175 IQ look it up

I love Tchaikovsky ❤️😍🐶🌺💐✨☄🍓🍰🍦🍭🎹🛫✈️🌅📻
By the way, the music from La la land is very similar with the beginning of one of Tchaikovsky romances ("Don't leave me")
Too bad that movie was hot garbage
@@passion_flora
Used to like it but I watched it too much. At the beginning I heard Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture.
May I point out that a Russian man was the one to use cannons as an instrument?
If I am not mistaken, Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony was inspired by Antonina's death.
You are mistaken.
She outlived him by quite a few years.
Can't wait for the 2nd part. Hope Rachmaninov shows up:)
who played the piano in piano concerto 1? was it Tchaikovsky or Somebody else??
X_BLANK_X Hans Von Bulow ;)
It's actually Nah-DYEZH-da the zh is like a sh sound but more buzzy ;))

Every time she shows an image i play a game of where's waldo except its Tchaikovsky

Song of background(im not good for english) Symphonie n6 phatetique of Tchaikovsky
a brief story of scriabin ;)
your pfp is fucking beautiful
i think im the only one who gets tchaikovsky and stravinsky mixed up
If it helps to separate them, Stravinsky once said Tchaikovsky was the most Russian of them all.
Reneiloé You might well be. It must be the names, as their music is most dissimilar.
Finally this was delayed for so long
A brief history of Shostakovich?
sergey kachikawawa
I wish I was born in the 2 Century and live up to 4096
A Brief History of Rachmaninov !
yesssss :))
how dare he not like Brahms
Bee-zay not Biz-et
Is somebody chasing?
Like Finale of Symphony 5th
2:00 SMH I mean you good but at 2:00 you were definitely reading from wikipedia
Sanpaku eyes
jesus christ. fluent in three languages by SIX and could read music better than multiple teachers
Hehe funny story he is my cousin
Painfully, classical music has still this roll. Today the people has more to do with their phone then classical music!
The most beautiful lips I've seen in a while.
Very interesting, but, please, take out the sexist comments on him wives
Tchaikovsky was… gay, and created swan lake…? we won!!
OMG. Do some research on pronunciation. Nadezhda and Bizet. Really??????????!!!!!!!!!!! Discredits your scholarship (which is actually good)….but….stopped watching.
You're going to "discuss on the beginning of T's life..." Is that even English?
Are you married? Cuz ... ❤❤❤
You speak fast please slow down a little
Okey first of all , your map of Russia is false , Crimea is part of Russia
he might be gay
"""might""" ? 😂😂😂
Ha! Gay
Tchaikovsky thought Wagner was “cool” and had “jam sessions”......
Thanks for your 8th grade level assessment.
He liked small boys including his nephew to which he dedicated his 6th Symphony.
Where uu got this info from?
