When we talk about classical music, I think you will have Beethoven or Mozart appear in your mind first. But I want to introduce you my favorite musician - Peter Tchaikovsky( 柴可夫斯基). Because there are so many compositions I want to share with you ,so I will gradually introduce them in the several week.

First I want to share with you is the composition which brings me to the world of classical music. Piano concerto No.1 created by Tchaikovsky during 1875.




This composition has three movements(樂章) :
First:
Allegro non troppo e molto maestoso - Allegro con spirito (不太快的和極其莊嚴的快板—生氣勃勃的快板)
The orchestra and the piano makes a strong but some how romantic beginning of this movement . However, this three minutes performance have enough reason for me to regard this composition as one of my favorite piano concerto . Next, the rest of this movement spent a lot of time on reaching another climax which is the end of this movement.

Second:
Andantino simplice - Prestissimo (樸素的小行板—最急板—初速)
As you can see , there is a serene melody in the beginning, but Tchaikovsky  suddenly changes this movement into a vivid style with fingers rapidly hit the piano key.

Third:
Allegro con fuoco (火熱的快板)
This is the most imposing movement in the whole composition. You will hear a main rhythm keep appearing but Tchaikovsky successfully arrange it at the very last of this composition. After a long musical  scale(音階)played by piano , the orchestra and the piano make this composition reach it's most splendid part.


If you have enough time , please click the video and listen for the masterpiece .
But if you don't have such time, here are the best part of this composition: 
0:55~4:30
33:15~end.

Thanks for your visiting.

  1. Tchaikovsky!!!! His music tells not only his emotions but also the history background of the hard times then. The concerto you chose was definitely one of the best choice.>< BTW I love the 1812 overture, too. <3
