Biography by Robert Cummings:
Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky was the author of some of the most popular themes in all of classical music. He founded no school, struck out no new paths or compositional methods, and sought few innovations in his works. Yet the power and communicative sweep of his best music elevates it to classic status, even if it lacks the formal boldness and harmonic sophistication heard in the compositions of his contemporaries, Wagner and Bruckner. It was Tchaikovsky's unique melodic charm that could, whether in his Piano Concerto No. 1 or in his ballet The Nutcracker or in his tragic last symphony, make the music sound familiar on first hearing.
Tchaikovsky was born into a family of five brothers and one sister. He began taking piano lessons at age four and showed remarkable talent, eventually surpassing his own teacher's abilities. By age nine, he exhibited severe nervous problems, not least because of his overly sensitive nature. The following year, he was sent to St. Petersburg to study at the School of Jurisprudence. The loss of his mother in 1854 dealt a crushing blow to the young Tchaikovsky. In 1859, he took a position in the Ministry of Justice, but longed for a career in music, attending concerts and operas at every opportunity. He finally began study in harmony with Zaremba in 1861, and enrolled at the St. Petersburg Conservatory the following year, eventually studying composition with Anton Rubinstein.
In 1866, the composer relocated to Moscow, accepting a professorship of harmony at the new conservatory, and shortly afterward turned out his First Symphony, suffering, however, a nervous breakdown during its composition. His opera The Voyevoda came in 1867-1868 and he began another, The Oprichnik, in 1870, completing it two years later. Other works were appearing during this time, as well, including the First String Quartet (1871), the Second Symphony (1873), and the ballet Swan Lake (1875).
In 1876, Tchaikovsky traveled to Paris with his brother, Modest, and then visited Bayreuth, where he met Liszt, but was snubbed by Wagner. By 1877, Tchaikovsky was an established composer. This was the year of Swan Lake's premiere and the time he began work on the Fourth Symphony (1877-1878). It was also a time of woe: in July, Tchaikovsky, despite his homosexuality, foolishly married Antonina Ivanovna Milyukova, an obsessed admirer, their disastrous union lasting just months. The composer attempted suicide in the midst of this episode. Near the end of that year, Nadezhda von Meck, a woman he would never meet, became his patron and frequent correspondent.
Further excursions abroad came in the 1880s, along with a spate of successful compositions, including the Serenade for Strings (1881), 1812 Overture (1882), and the Fifth Symphony (1888). In both 1888 and 1889, Tchaikovsky went on successful European tours as a conductor, meeting Brahms, Grieg, Dvorák, Gounod, and other notable musical figures. Sleeping Beauty was premiered in 1890, and The Nutcracker in 1892, both with success.
Throughout Tchaikovsky's last years, he was continually plagued by anxiety and depression. A trip to Paris and the United States followed one dark nervous episode in 1891. Tchaikovsky wrote his Sixth Symphony, "Pathétique," in 1893, and it was successfully premiered in October, that year. The composer died ten days later of cholera, or -- as some now contend -- from drinking poison in accordance with a death sentence conferred on him by his classmates from the School of Jurisprudence, who were fearful of shame on the institution owing to an alleged homosexual episode involving Tchaikovsky.

Tschaikovsky was a genius, he could create a mysterious world by composing to any musical instrument.
The comfort of her performance is irreplaceable
Her beautiful performance invites me the wonderful and moving world of comfort
This is GOLD! Tchaikovsky is truly a Music Genius. It doesnt matter for what instrument he composed. He always brings you into his world with his music
yep
More and more I'm realising this
Beautiful nuggets of this fantastic melodist whose song provides multiple thrills. A wonderful sensitivity that belongs only to him!
Perfect interpretations !
A sensational panorama.....BRAVI from San Agustinillo, Oaxaca !
Tchaikovsky.... il Maestro dei Maestri
I love Tchaikovsky’s works
Beautiful pieces. I am stuck on the first one!! The first 'movement' (before the faster part) is a perfect example of how a masterpiece of beauty can still be quite playable. And that is really amazing!! Viktoria is quite gifted in her interpretation, which is much slower than the others I have heard, and I like it much better this way.
Nie znałam utworów solo piano Czajkowskiego piękne romantyczne dziękuję
Thank you for uploading . I wish other works such as Tchiakovsky’s nine sacred pieces were better known too
As with most of his music you get the feeling that something else is at play. We’ll never know.
Unsure why they're less recognized, brilliant stuff.
Chopin and Liszt eclipsed everyone else
The songs really aren’t much compositionally. Piotr is at his best when he gets his hooks into a beautiful melody, or some of that nice call-and-response. But it takes the most sensitive of performers to really wring the potential out of the music. Buniatishvili and Pletnev are the only ones who really succeeded here. Just my opinion, but I play many of these.
This is mystical.
Thank you for uploading this beautiful music!
thank you very much for introducing me to Postnikova!
Yeah , very talented pianist , and unfortunately not very well-known. Partly, because she didn't want to play with any conductor except her husband ( Gennady Rozhdestvensky ).
Je ne sais plus vraiment, je perds la tête depuis quelque temps ! En tout cas cette musique magnifique au-delà de toute raison, m'aide à m'endormir paisiblement. Et c'est heureux parce que mes névroses envahissantes grignotent ma raison et je tourne en rond ma folie maladive
Philippe Cirse I'm glad that this music serves as the perfect remedy to all your problems, in particular your nerves. Music has that effect. Vive la musique!
Very Beautiful Viktoria
Thank you very much for this selection. Such a touching and inspired performances.
I did not know these musical pearls of the great teacher, it is a great delight to listen to it, thank you very much.
I heard a small part of a Tchaikovsky solo piano piece more than 40 years ago and have been searching for it ever since. It is a lovely pursuit. Thank you for uploading this excellent compilation. 🌷
For me the same situation!
Theres websites you can type the notes into and itll sesrch for pieces. Im pretty sure you just need the correct intervals so you wont need perfect pitch.
And thank the rest of you extraordinary artists. Wow. I've been a student of music most of my life... and yet, I had never heard most of these piano works before. Wonderful...! and thank you all... for sharing this amazing TH-cam post. Gold, pure Gold! CVD
J'adore la manière de faire les mordants de Postnikova
Thank you very much for sharing.
These beautiful pieces for piano by Tchaikovsky I listen before I fall asleep and I get up very motivated !!! I highly recommend them...
HERMOSO!!
Gracias por subir estas piezas extraordinarias.
Una maravilla de obra musical
Tchaikovsky, unlike many of the Romantics, is not known for his solo piano music.
Yeah. His solo works tended to either all sound the same or be continuous choppy chords......But.... He did great with his 1st concerto and Christmas stuff. lol
They do not sound the same to me. It's certainly unfair to compare them to Chopin, Scriabin, or Rachmaninov, and a lot of the time mimic an orchestra, but his brilliant musical ideas are still present in his solo piano. I don't know why most don't like them, but to me they are hidden gems.
I agree your opinion...
Just wait til you get into his 2nd Concerto (Pletnev)
Ludwig Van Beethoven
Quiet Ludwig, your own [harpsichord] solos were as hideous as your first name.
Kapitalne wykonanie Dumki
Декабрь и Яеварь тоже красивые произведения
Maravilhoso, interpretaçao nota dez, mpusica muito agradavel de se ouvir, obrigado por postar.-
Very beautiful plays Khatia Buniatishvili
Yes, first time I hear Khatia playing this music. She gets the mood! I love it.
Warms up around 12:20 very nice.
17:04
Sheer heaven
gold
Op 72 is my favorite
I've played classical for 60 year and never was exposed or explored solo T. Lots of sad, brooding stuff here. But to me, much of it sounds very similar. But then, I'm just a philistine...
Nofer Trunions Wow! the playing of classical music for the past sixty years has helped you to graduate to the rank of philistine...how boorish. Vive la culture!
This is an excellent presentation-thank you- however, it cannot be heard; its uploaded at too low a volume.
How you know it's excellent then?
Simple, stunning and beautiful. Just like my wife to be
simple. lol.
relatable
CaptainMani And I'm sure your wife once thought you complex, disarming, and handsome...but now where are you?
Hi Viktoria, boy do you ever look russian. Those eyes! I like what I'm hearing and I've never heard these piano works before. Thank you so much. CVD
Yeah boy, now she's 80
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
You know there's this whole "lofi beats" trend?
Don't get me wrong I like it, but when I'm chilling in the window smokin a cig at 4 am,
This is *THE MUSIC* that plays in my ears
Am I a boomer whilist being 18 years old? If so I don't mind it tbh
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
what you play is similar to the piece that I look for.
My language!.
O sea como no hay ningún texto alusivo al pianista adicionalmente yo tengo baja visión, lo que no me impide con mi tele lupa visualizar los textos, si los hubiera, u oír la definición de voz

Shhhhh. They need the sponsors
Alexander Paley looks likes he's getting blown from under the piano. Other than this, amazing!
I see that look a lot on piano players. It is common enough to have earned the name "piano face"
i thought that was a given?
Nameless s
The first track is Summertime, right?)
I read your comment in the exact time I was thinking that!
yes, Tchaikovsky invented summertime. Listen Pique Dame
Wait...Isn't Nocturne by Chopin?
nocturne is just a style of composition. chopin has many nocturnes and was not the inventor (that was john field) or the only composer to write a nocturne :)
Quién es la intérprete, aquí no se ve nada...
The only ones here to really make the music sing and cry are Buniatishvili (gorgeous) and Pletnev, who are absolutely outstanding. The others… are ok
I take it back, Postnikova's halting approach is eventually like fingernails on a blackboard
I prefer the nutcracker reductions for piano even if Tchaikovsky create them
Pletnev wrote one, it's very nice. Go for it, take a listen.
Eascucha Eroslav no queremos escuchar a ti deja nos escuchar la música hermosa Jodeeer💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🙄
I'm a pianist, and can learn to play some of these pieces. Get envious :D
xdygmnyrdf Well, get thumping...
If you are a pianist, go practice
omg
Some are almost too sad to learn. 😞
Stopped when Khatia pièce came up..
Tchaikovsky was not a piano composer - hm... the 1.pianoconcerto
He could not have died of cholera as at the viewing it was an open casket. Cholera is contagious; an open casket would not have been allowed. That was just Modest's cover-up story.
This is a worthy hypothesis for discussion
.
People who put ads on PUBLIC DOMAIN music that we are all trying to calmly enjoy are shameful.
This is not public domain music. There is a way you can enjoy it without being interrupted - it is simply buying it.
I have a red "Premium" logo on my U-Tube, maybe they deduct a little monthly. Whatever. Just remember the words of Great American Patriot Rod Blagojevich: "You gotta Pay to Play!"
I just wish the commercials weren't 3 times louder than the music.
@@GilPiotr Or using an adblocker, like I do.
@@GilPiotr Comme il a changé le monde....même Tchaikovsky est devenu une marchandise.
Pitié!
Tchaikovsky was genius of musical beauty. The version of his forced suicide is false, it's just a shameful lie invented by an envious former collègue.
Ashkenazi el peor intérprete
The version of the Nocturne in C-sharp minor by Tharaud is really awful...
I am totally surprise in how depressing they are.
I could probably compose better in those styles,
what ever they are.
Generally, his music isn't very optimistic in particular :)))
