Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is in my opinion one of the greatest classical musiccomposers of all time. He also had one of the most interesting lives I have ever read about. Although he suffered through a large enormity of emotional problems and nervous breakdowns, along with having to deal with harsh instances of love and death, his music reflects these emotions in a very beautiful way. Tchaikovsky (also spelled Chaikovsky or Tschaikovsky, and often referred to as Peter), was born on May seventh, 1840 in Votkinsk, Russia. His father, Ilya Petrovitch Tchaikvosky, was the superintendent of government owned mines, giving his family an upper-class standing in Russia, and Tchaikovsky had a French governess (mostly because his mother was half-French). Although he was musically talented at a young age, his parents were unsupportive as he was kind of anxious and excitable, and they thought music would do him even more harm mentally. But even before age 10, he had already begun composing music. Because of a transfer in his father's job in about 1850, the family was moved to Moscow and then to St. Petersburg, where Tchaikovsky was sent to the prepatory School of Jurisprudence, which was all male. He lived somewha
Petersburg Conservatory of music in 1862. For the rest of these school years, the only musical education he got was random piano, singing, and harmony lessons, along with several opera attendances, which have been said to have "lasting influences on his musical taste. This overture was based on a play called The Storm, and expressed the roots of his musical character. In any event, he died of cholera disease, which was killing many people in St. Tchaikovsky's romantic life was very unsuccessful. He had loved her very much, almost abnormally, and was deeply disturbed by it, with his father's uncaring manner intensifying the matter even worse. About that time, Antonina Milyukova, a former student of his, threatened to commit suicide unless he married her, so he did so only because of how compassionately he felt about the heroine of the Eugene Onegin opera (Tatyana), whom he relates to Milyukova.
