I doubt he died of suicide. The man grew up poor and his dreams were finally being fulfilled! He does mention how being alive is such a motivation for him to keep accomplishing more things. He was 53 when he became famous and yes, at that age, people were prone to sickness in Europe.
My music literature teacher told us about his death and I clearly remember, that he wanted water at a restaurant after presenting his new concert and the waiter said, that they didn't have clean water and he was mad about it plus excited after the premiere so he said:"Then give me the bad water! I don't care.". So the waiter did. And...
Mr. T was passionate and no doubt could be irascible and impulsive, but honestly, what kind of stupid do you think he was? Moreover, his brother Modeste, if he were there, would not have permitted it. And again, the waiter/attendant would not have dared to be an accessory and face legal entanglement by serving unboiled water. There are a plethora or theories, and it's unlikely we will ever know the truth of every part of the event.
I have always particularly loved the introduction - first movement - of his piano concerto. It's the most spectacular and uplifting entrance ever written.
My favourite Tchaikovsky's ballet is Swan Lake, with the happy ending that is! A ballet school in Ipoh, Malaysia (that's where I'm from) did a shortened version of Swan Lake with the happy ending.
Anton Rubinstein, not nikolai rubinstein, was his mentor, while nikolai rubinstein, a younger brother of anton, was a close personal friend (iaw with the Part 1 bio)
Hi..i came across your channel yesterday and realize it's one of the best ones here. Just a quick one - would you recommend any particular order to go through the content here? Consider me a beginner. Thanks and great work!
Now I respect him even more. He was homosexual but he seemed he could control his life very well, and I don't believe he commited suicide. Being gay back then was tough! Such a talented man! After Mozart, he is my favorite :)
I've learned a lot from your presentation but one that I learn as a "Neglect" is the story of "Swan Lake". Why is that you even haven't touched on that or is that another long story? Please don't let me die in the lack of this piece of information.
What a nice series :D I love your channel, but sometimes I have some difficulties in understanding some words 'cause I'm from Brazil haha could you add subtitles (in English), pleeease? :D
Despite Tchaikovsky’s homosexuality, he seemed to have been a more religious person, as his musical influence over the Russian Orthodox Church is still felt to this day, while he had some questions over Church Tradition and the Bible, in his letters he openly loved going to Divine Liturgy and Vespers. I mention this because Orthodox Christianity is strongly against suicide. So I don’t see himself committing suicide
@@samsen3965 I think Swan Lake is Tchaikovsky's best work. I also think that he wrote the story on his own - and about himself, his emotions. It is such a pity that it was not successful enough (op. 20), so he returned to ballet so late (op. 66 and op. 72). All his three ballets are masterpieces - he would have probably composed more but then he died - what a loss-....
Nope, there's never too much trombone. Lol, I was jokingly insulting your history, but really we'd both make a great video. Mein Gott, now I'm starting to wish I wrote for your tuben and not that god forsaken saxo-mah-jiggy but nonetheless. I'm sure as long as Bolero sounds good on it then it's a good instrument.
Thank you, I enjoy your 'Breif Histories' - Question for you, I have roughly 10 or 12 CDs of Rachmaninov's Concerto #2 in C (by different artistas of course), quite often it is 'paired' with Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto #1 - why would that be . . . it's quite common to find that.
so in terms of like artistic/academic merit or whatever, how is Tchaikovsky received or viewed? Because it seems like (I didn't go to college for music anything) Bach, Mozart, Liszt, Beethoven, are all taught for their compositions but I rarely hear Tchaikovsky being taught . Maybe I just haven't branched out enough?
The fact he was gay is reported by all his biographers, but it's not the case for the second hypothesis. Have you new documents about von Meck the murderer ? It's interesting.

It's incredible that one person could write both the 1812 Overture and Sleeping Beauty.

The question is still open I guess.
If you search in Siri it is cholera, Rachmaninov was more depressed and he didn’t die of suicide
Tchaikovsky is my favorite composer 😊

Thanks for this!
Great narration, thank you.

Your videos are so lighthearted ... Perhaps that's why you haven't done one on Shostakovich ...
Fantastic fantastic
Great video and series!
Very nice. Thanks so much. I enjoyed it. Elmer
Thank you!! 🎉
Could you please do a brief history of Scriabin?
Thank you for the video. Greetings from Brazil. :)
Well done. Thank you.
My favourite Tchaikovsky's ballet is Swan Lake, with the happy ending that is! A ballet school in Ipoh, Malaysia (that's where I'm from) did a shortened version of Swan Lake with the happy ending.
I hate the happy ending 😂 but I like tragic stories so...
Anton Rubinstein, not nikolai rubinstein, was his mentor, while nikolai rubinstein, a younger brother of anton, was a close personal friend (iaw with the Part 1 bio)
This was great, thank you.
Love it
The best composer for ever !!!
You should do a brief history of:
Rimsky-Korsakov
Borodin
Satie
Saint-Saens
Stravinsky
Brahms
Schumann
etc.
Thanx!
Many thanks for your work!
Excellent series!
A Brief History of Robert Schumann!!! REVOLUTION!! AHHH!
Really great channel:) Keep up the good work!
Hi..i came across your channel yesterday and realize it's one of the best ones here. Just a quick one - would you recommend any particular order to go through the content here? Consider me a beginner. Thanks and great work!
great video his music is very dynamic and energetic
You should make videos of you performing different songs, i would really love it!
Now I respect him even more. He was homosexual but he seemed he could control his life very well, and I don't believe he commited suicide. Being gay back then was tough! Such a talented man! After Mozart, he is my favorite :)
MarsLos10 I died from tuberculosis
How do people know that he was gay?
Frédéric Chopin how are you commenting then 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
fairy Eater my music lives
Hugo D Everyone knows he was gay.

What a nice series :D

Are you going to do more vids on piano technique / theory soon? I hope so!

NOT ONE WORD ABOUT SWAN LAKE ?!
I smell an element of intense mystery here too. Wished I could know more.
I know right!

Make a brief history of Stravinsky pleaseee :)
Make a brief history about ME! :D
You were a meanie, invented the selfish tuba that sounds like a horn, and gave trombonists a reason to live. Done.
Eh, so? I like brass instruments. And trombones are fucking awesome! You can never have too much trombone!
Nope, there's never too much trombone. Lol, I was jokingly insulting your history, but really we'd both make a great video.

Maurice Ravel Not in this series. Sorry. You'd be ruined.
Wonderful 🌹. Check pronunciation of Bizet- Bizé
Wow i knew so much from tchaikovski from his music
Thank you for these videos. Thanks to your awesome Channel I'll pass my music history final (:
Actually, i would argue that his two greatest contributions were the three piano concertos and his body of religious music.
Super great videos except Carnegie Hall is not in Philly, it's in NYC...
I need help pleasee i have a paper and i can't find how he influenced and contributed to music and why was he influential?

When did he compose swan lake?
Can I ask where you obtained this much information? What are your sources?
Carnegie Hall in Philadelphia? Yikes, I've only heard of the one in New York
Wasn’t Tchaikovsky in love with the Czars son or nephew or something like that which implied that the Czar essentially murdered Tchaikovsky?
Editor needed. "This composition was hugely popular nowadays." Was? Nowadays?
and swan lake?
As a gay, the second I heard CANNONS In his 1812 overture, with no prior knowledge I KNEW he was too extra to be straight
Carnegie Hall is actually in New York, not Philadelphia
No Swan Lake ???
Do you hate Swan Lake or something?
No mention of the impact his sister’s death had on him?
You are just beautiful... tell me more!
Dvorak is pronounced Dvojak, just saying...
Asaf Katz Correction: Dvorjak. Just sayin'.
And the way she says pyotr..haha
Dvořak=Dvorzhak.
Nadezhda's family pressured her to quit writing and supporting Tchaikovsky
The “fact” that he was gay is dubious at best. In fact it is a widely known fact he is the biological father of Kim Il Sung.
😂😂😂 That's true.
@@LaBoucheDuSerpentRevivaI Kiss me you fool
@@cevinzeke5110 Smouack
French Wikipedia article defend a thesis that he was forced to commit suicide by his familly, due to his homosexuality.
You heavily butchered Dvorak's name. It is pronounced div-or-shak.
That's not quite correct either. there's no english equivalent of the czech ř. the closest sound/explanation would be a rolled r/j
So he had a sugar mommy
Great job... except I couldn't quite believe how you pronounced "Dvorak."
Oh my God you look like a blond Julianne Moore. Great video btw
can’t believe tchaikovsky was a sugar baby
A sugar daddy you mean.
Why are you looking at the camera all crazy like dat
love the vid, but why do you not know how to pronounce "Dvorak" correctly...
Is it just me or are her eyes really wide..
I personally believe he was gay and also he was killed by von Meck on the order of Tsar Alexander III
The fact he was gay is reported by all his biographers, but it's not the case for the second hypothesis. Have you new documents about von Meck the murderer ? It's interesting.
