Seminar Description
Tchaikovsky’s music displays his distinctive personality through expansive and passionate melodies, strong dramatic contrasts, and a romantic sensibility unmatched during the nineteenth century. Drawing on Tchaikovsky’s rich and varied ouevre, we will listen to and discuss representative works from a variety of genres, including grand symphonic works, tragic operas, melodic ballet scores, intimate songs, powerful concertos, and rarely-heard chamber music.
