About this course:

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is one of the most recognizable and famous composers in classical music today. From the ballet to the concert hall, his music is celebrated around the globe for its beautiful melodies. Born in 1840, Tchaikovsky was the first important music student to graduate from the newly founded Moscow Conservatory, which now bears his name. In this course, we listen to the important ballets, symphonies, concerti, and other famous instrumental works, and discuss his works within the context of his time. While his music was often described as cosmopolitan, his compositions played an important role in further establishing a distinct Russian musical idiom. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
