Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), the Man and the Tragedy. A great Russian composer, Tchaikovsky exemplifies Slavic romanticism with unmatched strength. While using classical music forms and making numerous references to the Age of Enlightenment, he offers us music of profound sincerity. His national identity is not overshadowed by these influences; on the contrary, it is strengthened by the use of melodies from folklore, countless allusions to the harsh seasons of his country, his language, and the evocation of his people's fate. His music is truly engaging, achieving a synthesis between Nordic culture and Western music.
