    In my opinion, Tchaikovsky's lack of love towards the 1812 overture helped make it even better: because he channeled his frustration and anger towards this project he had no passion for and ended up making an emotional and furious masterpiece.

      That "passion" need not be positive. You can even be "passionately apathetic" towards something, as paradoxical as that sounds. After all, we humans and our feelings are nothing if not paradoxical.

      Sure, his most famous piece. Not the Nutcracker which is only performed about 7 million times every goddamn Christmas. Certainly not Romeo and Juliet with a theme so famous it’s been made into pop songs. Definitely not Swan Lake! Who the hell’s ever heard of that? I seem to remember he got *three* different works of his excerpted in the three minute top ten hit medley from 1981 _Hooked on Classics_ while no-names like Mozart only got one. What a one-hit-wonder Tchaikovsky was. I never fail to be amazed by the absolute arrogance and stupidity of comments on RUclips, especially the ones on this channel, which seems to engender a whole breed of know-it-all know-nothings, like the ass below who thinks Americans have no idea this piece is Russian just because it’s played on Independence Day. Christ.

    Fun fact: the other big musicians of the time were actively transcribing folk music. They'd go out to the country side, listen to the folk music and then write it down. It was post French Revolution and they were trying to cultivate a true, Russian sound. Just a fun bit of context, too!

    I think it’s crazy that I first remember hearing the 1812 overture in the show Little Einstein’s when I was a kid and then in my elementary school music class we had to act it out where there were Russians, French army, and Napoleon. It’s definitely one of my favorite theatrical and epic pieces of music and is so different from his other works, which I still love.

    One of the reason that this piece has been so iconic was that Russian immigrant Serge Koussevitzky Chief Conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra thought it would be a great way to end a concert and its choice for ending the famous July 4 concert outdoors on the esplanade was also championed by his successor the famous Arthur Fiedler. Even today Russians ask why such a patriotic Russian piece is played for American Independence Day.

    I have been binge-watching your videos like crazy, specially because, besides them being so well made and entertaining, most of them talk about works that awakened my passion for music when I was younger. I had honestly forgotten about that passion for a bit, so thank you for bringing it back. I'll share your content as much as I can!

    Tchaikovsky in a trailer park is so funny. Nice message about great music being universal. It also speaks to the genius of Tchaikovsky that he wrote it in a week this guy could arrange and compose music.

    Marche Slav has a similar vibe to 1812, including “God Save the Czar”. That would be a good story to hear.

  • @NicklasZandeVGCP2001

    Here's what would be a WW2 equivalent:
    1. Glory to Stalin plays, where people gather at Soviets to pray to their dear leader, as Hitler has officially announced Operation Barbarossa, invading the Soviet Union. It increasingly becomes heartfelt as the Russians continue to pray to Stalin.
    2. The same dark music plays, knowing how unprepared the Russians are for the German invasion.
    3. The same battle theme from the 1812 Overture plays as the Germans march into the Russian Motherland.
    4. Das Lied Der Deutschen plays on a loop, and as it loops it becomes much more prominent as they march toward Moscow.
    5. Glory to Stalin plays again as Stalin recruits more people into the Red Army out of desperation, ordering them to "Never Surrender", they will win or die trying.
    6. At the Gate plays as the Russians get their uniforms and defend their towns from total annihilation.
    7. Das Lied Der Deutschen is more aggressive, beating down those poor Russians and their melodies.
    8. The tussle between the Russian and German melodies occurs as Operation Barbarossa intensifies, between a peaceful Russian tune, and an increasing war-like Deutschland Uber Alles in Leningrad.
    9. Tanks noises are heard in the background as the battle continues, and when the Germans almost reach Moscow, but then the bells ring as winter starts, freezing the Germans in place, forcing them to retreat.
    10. The battle theme plays again, this time with the Russians on the offensive, and turn the tanks on the Huns, and the Soviet Anthem plays in the background, and the Russians storm Berlin, destroying the Reichstag in the process, emerging victorious.
