What I Can Learn from Peter Tchaikovsky

Tchaikovsky lived more than 150 years ago, but his music is still interesting today; it is heard and recognized by people of different countries, ages, and cultures. Tchaikovsky's compositions are not only performed on the stages of serious concert halls... and opera theaters — they can also be heard in feature films, in advertisements, and in computer games. In total, Peter Ilyich created 440 musical works: 11 operas, 3 ballets, 7 symphonies, music for piano, cantatas, suites, overtures, and many other pieces. This brief illustrated biography will tell you about the life of the great composer: how his childhood was spent and why he decided to pursue music only as an adult, how critics received his first works, and which of his own compositions Peter Ilyich considered a masterpiece. You will learn about the role of friends in Tchaikovsky's life, his useful habits and hobbies besides music. And you will also be inspired to follow your dream and calling, no matter the circumstances!
