Experiencing Tchaikovsky a listeners companion

David Schroeder

Few composers remain as much loved by twenty-first-century audi-ences as Pyotr Ilich Tchaikovsky, despite the attempts of some com-mentators to convince us that we should long ago have left his nine-teenth-century presumed sentimentalism behind. Thankfully audiences often have more sense than critics, but just in case we remain suscepti-ble to the naysayers, one of the main objectives of this book is to show how Tchaikovsky’s musical voice can have as much genuine resonance for us as it did when he lived a century and a half ago. In fact, some of the architects of modernism in music, including Igor Stravinsky (who at times claimed music had nothing to do with feelings), Sergey Prokofiev, and Dmitri Shostakovich, had the greatest possible respect for him. Stravinsky regarded Tchaikovsky as nothing short of a hero, and the homage he paid will be described in chapter 9.
