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'.

Fossils and Finale combines two of the better-known movements from the humorous Carnival of the Animals. This  fourteen-movement suite by Camille Saint-Saëns featured musical depictions of animals such as The Swan and The Elephant, and was written for a private performance with young students in mind. While the composer didn't feel it was serious enough to be performed during his lifetime, it has since gone on to become a beloved classical-musical favorite. In this arrangement, the quirky Fossils with optional xylophone is written to be more accessible for intermediate students, segueing seamlessly into the circus-like Finale. Both movements feature bright, fun melodies within playable ranges and keys for the developing ensemble and the original piano part integrated into the string parts.
