Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was a Russian composer of the Romantic period, was born in 1840.
When he was 19 years old, he graduated as a titular counselor, a low rung on the civil service ladder.
After that he was hired to the Ministry of Justice, he worked as a junior assistant and a senior assistant roughly four years.
Tchaikovsky attended Nikolai Zaremba’s RMS classes in 1861.
Tchaikovsky entered at the Conservatory as part of its premiere class, learned harmony and counterpoint by Zaremba and instrumentation and composition by Rubinstein.
He was honored a silver medal for his thesis.
Now, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 in F minor, Op. 36, was written between 1877 and 1878. Its first performance was at a Russian Musical Society concert in Moscow on February 22.
After that, it’s performed by various orchestras.
