According to his teachers, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), was not particularly gifted. His special talents were acknowledged only in 1865 when he had been working for the Ministry of Finances for some years. In 1866 he was appointed teacher at the Conservatory and applied himself to composing. His oeuvre is fairly extensive and many of his compositions receive a high ranking on the international list of classical music, including his six symphonies, solo concertos (violin concerto and piano concertos), ballets (The Nut Cracker, Swan Lake), and his overtures (1812 and Romeo and Juliette). In 1893 Tchaikovsky died of Cholera after drinking a glass of infectedwater. His Slavonic March is a popular concert piece for symphonic orchestra that is still frequently performed in concert halls. David Well arranged the theme and created a contemporary march in rock style. Tchaikovsky once said to an unsatisfied teacher: ‘I will be a great composer within 10 years time.’ Volgens zijn leraren was Pjotr Iljitsj Tsjaikovski (1840-1893) niet bijzonder begaafd. Zijn speciale talenten werden alleen erkend in 1865, toen hij enkele jaren had gewerkt voor het ministerie van Financiën. In 1866 werd hijbenoemd tot docent aan het Conservatorium en legde zich toe op het componeren. Zijn oeuvre is vrij uitgebreid en veel van zijn composities krijgen een hoge ranking op de internationale lijst van klassieke muziek, met inbegrip vanzijn zes symfonieën, soloconcerten (viool en piano), balletten (De Notenkraker, Het Zwanenmeer), en zijn ouvertures (1812 en Romeo en Juliette). In 1893 is Tsjaikovski gestorven aan cholera na het drinken van een glas van besmetwater. Zijn Slavische Mars is een populair concertwerk voor symfonie orkest. David Well maakte een mooi arrangement van het thema en creëerde een mars in een hedendaagse rock stijl. Tchaikovsky zei ooittegen een ontevreden leraar: 'Ik zal een groot componist zijn binnen 10 jaar tijd'.

Lemminkainens Happy Ending
ISBN 9790004803219. 10 x 12.5 inches.
The four orchestral scores which are brought together in Lemminkainen op. 22 can be understood with a bit of imagination as a kind of program symphony. All the more surprising is the Revision History that occurred after the first performances and versions in 1896 and 1897: Sibelius soon revised two pieces, the Swan of Tuonela (which was soon to become very popular) and Lemminkainen returns home (op. 22 no. 4). He had both scores printed, but stowed the two other pieces away in a drawer for nearly 40 years before he gave them their last polish. The entire cycle in its last authorized version was published in 1954, just as the composer wished. This happy ending is comprehensively documented in Volume I/12b of the Sibelius Complete Edition.
