I already knew it.

use me as "I know nothing about them , I just love classic music" button

Tchaikovsky is the kind of guy to point at a cannon and go "is that an instrument?" and not wait for an answer

How many beautiful melodies can you write, Tchaikovsky? Tchaikovsky: Yes...

My russian houshold: Tchaikovsky supremacy My austrian music teacher: Tchaikovsky supremacy My private music tutor: Tchaikovsky supremacy Algorithm at 1am: Tchaikovsky supremacy

I couldn't imagine attending a concert and the absolute mad lad rolls out a dozen cannons for his first piece

I was today years old when I found out that "Once Upon a Dream" in Disney's Sleeping Beauty is actually by Tchaikovsky.

I find that Russian composers possess unique talent for conveying a lot of personality and strong characterization in their music, almost like they are painting a portrait with sound.

I'm Japanese, listening to a Russian composer (whom we also play in our orchestra) while studying Spanish, and commenting in English... edit: I passed the exam!

everybody gangster until Tchaikovsky brings the cannons in

Warning, this topic is semi-political, I like to think I'm being rather neutral but if you don't like it, you do not have to read it. I'm listening to this after hearing that a concert with pieces by Tchaikovsky became cancelled, due to the fact he's Russian. He's dead, people. If you never mentioned who the composer was I don't think anyone would get offended hearing these pieces. I do hate what's going on Ukraine, don't misunderstand. But I fail to see how canceling a dead Russian composer is supposed to affect anything. It's music. It shouldn't be canceled because it's creator happened to be Russian

I'm falling in love with Vivaldi and Tchaikovsky's music I swear.

Everyone who says only old people listen to classical music have clearly never been to the comment section of classical music YouTube videos, I love this corner of the internet

I believe in Tchaikovsky's supremacy

For me, Tchaikovsky will remain the best composer and I don't care what politics and current realities require. There is a soul in this music, a truly Russian soul, and it fascinates me and makes me worry. In Russia, I also have a lot of friends and they are not at all like the orcs they want to present to us, they are quite the same people as everyone else.. they are no different from us, although they probably smile less.. but this is not because of coldness, in Russia it is considered bad form to smile at strangers, especially for no reason. Tchaikovsky is in my heart forever.

Me: this music is going to help me fall asleep like an epic god. 14:58:

Tchaikovsky: "Bring the cannon in" Everyone: "But sir they aren't an instrument" Tchaikovsky: "I SAID BRING THE CANNON IN"

i'm listening to this while studying and almost had a heart-attack because of the cannon sound

As a russian I'm so proud that people all over the world likes Tchaikovsky <3 Greetings from Russia!
