Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Russian: Пётр Ильи́ч Чайко́вский; tr. Pëtr Il'ič Čajkovskij; 25 April/7 May 1840 – 25 October/6 November 1893), often anglicized as Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, was a Russian composer of the late-Romantic period, some of whose works are among the most popular music in the classical repertoire. He was the first Russian composer whose music made a lasting impression internationally, bolstered by his appearances as a guest conductor in Europe and the United States. Tchaikovsky was honored in 1884, by Emperor Alexander III, and awarded a lifetime pension.

Andante cantabile, 2nd movement of String Quartet No. 1, Op. 11 (1871)
arr. for string orchestra

The Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia conducted by Anshel Brusilow

The First String Quartet was composed in February 1871, it was premiered in Moscow on 16/28 March 1871 by four members of the Russian Musical Society.

The melancholic second movement, which has become famous in its own right, was based on a folk song, likely the Song of the Volga Boatmen, the composer heard at his sister's house at Kamenka whistled by a house painter. When the quartet was performed at a tribute concert for Leo Tolstoy, the author was said to have been brought to tears by this movement: “…Tolstoy, sitting next to me and listening to the Andante of my First Quartet, burst into tears". When the Zoellner Quartet, at her request, performed the second movement for Helen Keller, who rested her fingertips on a resonant tabletop to sense the vibrations, she, too, reacted strongly.[8] The melody from second theme of the Andante cantabile, in D♭ major, was also used as the basis for the popular song "On the Isle of May", popularized by Connee Boswell in 1940. This movement ends with plagal cadence.

Tchaikovsky. One of the great musical geniuses. The reason why so much of his music is popular, is because it's so damned good. The ultimate melody writer. Possibly only Dvorak came anywhere near him. What I like about T is that he never strayed far from his Russian roots, always including folk tunes in his works...

This composer was very sensitive. I think it is a necessity to create such beauty. Almost all his works show a harmonious elegance that brings peace to our heart. I believe his soul was close to heaven.
