We know, patriotism isn't your thing. Not to be too pedantic but this is Russian patriotism. Tchaikovsky was celebrating the defeat of Napoleon. It's an interesting piece the first time you hear it. FlaJim, no doubt, believes the "1812" part refers to the war between the United States and England, and that a Russian composer wrote the piece about it as the 20th Century approached. You've displayed your knowledge in your description. -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, and narcissists...not guns! |

Do you ever just get sick of yourself? Johnny, despite my advancing age, my ears still work pretty well, and I don't need to listen to overblown overtures and schmaltzy pop orchestrations to enjoy good music, or to show off the capabilities of a mediocre stereo sound system. Besides, while culture is learned, taste is subjective. I prefer serious music that is more subtle. I'm not knocking Tchaikovsky...he was a great composer and I enjoy many of his works...but the 1812 isn't one of them.

Interestingly enough it was not well received initially. ---- The first performance was eventually given by Adolph Brodsky on December 4, 1881 in Vienna, under the baton of Hans Richter. Tchaikovsky changed the dedication to Brodsky. Critical reaction was mixed. The influential critic Eduard Hanslick called it "long and pretentious" and said that it "brought us face to face with the revolting thought that music can exist which stinks to the ear". Hanslick also wrote that "the violin was not played but beaten black and blue", as well as labeling the last movement "odorously Russian". ---- ---- The Violin Concerto in D was written in 1878 during the period immediately after Tchaikovsky had fled from his disastrous marriage. To escape, he traveled to France, Italy, and Switzerland, where he met his old friend, the violinist Joseph Kotek. Together, they played Lalo’s Symphony Espagnole, and the experience apparently moved Tchaikovsky to immediately begin work on a concerto. The sketches were completed in only eleven days, while the scoring took only two weeks. Although Kotek advised him on the solo part, the work was dedicated to the famous Leopold Auer. (Kotek was later recompensed by another dedication.) When it came to performing the piece, however, both Kotek and Auer refused Tchaikovsky’s requeste to perform the premiere, claiming that the piece was impossible to play owing to the many double stops, glissandi, trills, leaps, and dissonances. A first performance was delayed until December 4, 1881, when Adolf Brodsky performed it with the Vienna Philharmonic. Though some in the audience hailed the work, the famous critic Eduard Hanslick believed that the work actually gave out a “bad smell.” ---- |
