Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Born: 7th May 1840, Votkinsk
Died: 6th November 1893, Saint Petersburg
Nationality: Russian
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was a Russian composer of the Romantic period. He was the first Russian composer whose music would make a lasting impression internationally. He was honored in 1884 by Tsar Alexander III and awarded a lifetime pension.
Although musically precocious, Tchaikovsky was educated for a career as a civil servant. There was scant opportunity for a musical career in Russia at the time and no system of public music education.
