Children's Album. Musical Book

One of the masterpieces of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is the Children's Album. These are musical sketches from the everyday life and world of a child. An ordinary day filled with their games, dances, tales, and dreams.
 
The album consists of 24... pieces, of which you will get to know 10 in this book.


Compositions describing the morning: «Morning Prayer», «Winter Morning», and, of course, next to the child is always their «Mother». The day, the games of boys and girls: «Playing Horses», «March of the Wooden Soldiers», «The Doll's Illness», «The Doll's Funeral». The inner world of the child includes, among other things, the inevitable first losses, grief, and reflections on the meaning of life — these themes arise in the child's inner world and require their experience.


Tchaikovsky created a kind of psychological cycle that introduces and reveals a whole palette of feelings and emotions within us.


The album concludes with the composition «Song of the Lark», which is a symbol of rebirth.
