Edited by Ya. MILSTEIN and K. SOROKINPublished after: P. I. Tchaikovsky. Selected Works for Piano. Book 2. - Moscow, Muzgiz, 1949. Editors' PrefaceThe present edition of Tchaikovsky's selected piano pieces is based on his Collected Works (Vols. 51a, 51b, 52 and 53). Since the composer often modified the music while preparing it for further publications, we have used also some other editions of Tchaikovsky's works, including those revised by Tchaikovsky for Jurgenson. The author's marks related to tempo, dynamics, phrasing, fingering and pedal - in short, all the marks found in the original text - are printed in large characters. All the supplementary marks, both those from Jurgenson's new edition (most probably approved by Tchaikovsky himself) and those added by the present editors, are printed in small characters.(from the preface to the first edition)One of Tchaikovsky's not numerous variation cycles for piano, with a rather complex texture. Dedicated to Tchaikovsky's teacher, the famous pianist Anton Rubinstein. For students of music colleges and conservatoires, as well as for professional performers. CONTENTSSix Pieces.

145 mm x 205 mmSymphony No 6 is the last symphonic composition by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The work at it continued from February 4 to August 12, 1893, when Tchaikovsky stayed in Klin, near Moscow. The drafts were over on March 24. Then there appeared the piano rieses or 72 and the romances to the verses by D. Rathaus. The journey via Europe preceded the completion of the Third piano concerto. Only then the time of the sixth symphony sate. The composer was making the orchestral score during the period of July 20 to August 12 already in Klin. It was on the first stages ojle creative process, when Tchaikovsky implied to the symphony to be given the program. Its name was supposed to be "The Programmatic Symphony" for the listeners to understand its purport clearly. However, the programme itself was not to be announced. Later the composer considered that intention to be not quite logical, and following his brother Modest's advice he gave it the title "Pathetic". The first public performance took place in Petersburg on October 16, 1893. The author himself conducted it. The premiere execution was accepted rather inadequately. The audience was left cold. Tchaikovsky wrote to R. Yurgenson: "It was not just simply disliked, only it seemed to have shocked the listeners. As to te, I am proud of it toge, than of any other compositions of mine". The Sixth symphony was a great success, when E. Napravnik executed it during its second premiere on November 6, 1893 - twelve days after the author's death.
