Captivated
by the playing of famed
Franz Liszt pupil Eugen
d'Albert during the
1883-1884 concert season,
Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky
(1840-1893) began work on
Concert Fantasia. After
an arduous composition
process, on which the
composer himself
remarked, I stopped
playing around and came
up with something... but
it still sounded too poor
and unoriginal...
Tchaikovsky laid aside
Concert Fantasia and
began sketching out his
Third Orchestral Suite.
He eventually returned to
and finished Concert
Fantasia in June of 1884,
with the surprising
addition of the second
movement Contrastes.
Originally composed as
the first movement of his
Third Orchestral Suite
but ultimately rejected,
Tchaikovsky reservedly
added it as a second
movement to Concert
Fantasia. While
recognizing and wishing
to use the movement for
its own merits, he still
harbored doubts and added
an alternative solo
cadenza to the end of the
first movement in case
Contrastes was to be
omitted. The Russian
Musical Society under the
direction of Max
Erdmannsdörfer premiered
the work in 1855. In the
two decades after its
debut, Concert Fantasia
received many
performances but
disappeared from the
repertoire until it
underwent a revival in
the latter part of the
20th century.
