Description

The most shattering personal crisis of Tchaikovsky's life-his ill-conceived marriage to a young student in 1877-coincided with one of the greatest periods of his composing career. Over a mere two years, he poured out a stream of masterpieces, culminating in his Fourth Symphony, a 19th-century Russian music drama to rival the great literary dramas of Pushkin and Tolstoy.
