'Six
Pieces' Op. 19 is the
first collection of piano
pieces by Tchaikovsky
which contributed
significantly to his
growing renown as most
important Russian
composer apart from Anton
Rubinstein. Famous
contemporary pianists
like Nikolai Rubinstein
and Hans von Bulow
performed Reverie du soir
(Op. 19, No. 1) or Theme
original et variations
(No. 6) in their concerts
in the 1870s.
Commissioned by his
Moscow publisher P. I.
Jurgenson, Six Pieces Op.
19 was composed by
Tchaikovsky in the summer
and autumn of 1873, i.e.
during his time as
professor of theory at
the Moscow
Conservatoire.Bulow had
entered 'little changes'
in his own copy of the
first edition of
Variations Op. 19/6.
There is, however, no
documentary proof which
of Bulow's changes
Tchaikovsky eventually
included in the Nouvelle
edition revue et corrigee
par l'auteur of Op. 19
published only in 1890.
The present new edition
therefore contains both
versions of the
Variations. Tchaikovsky's
version of the first
edition can be found in
the appendix of the
present volume, Bulow's
version expressly adopted
by Tchaikovsky is
presented together with
Nos. 1-5 in the main text
of the volume on the
basis of the Nouvelle
edition revue et corrigee
par l'auteur from
1890.
