Piotr Ilych Tchaikovsky loved to spend summers at his sister’s house in Ukraine. He began composing his Second Symphony there in the summer of 1872, completing it later that year. Audiences loved it from the very first, but Tchaikovsky was dissatisfied, calling the first movement “difficult, noisy, disjointed and confused.” He revised the symphony extensively seven years later. Both Tchaikovsky and his audiences loved the new version, which we will play for you, amongst others, on February 28 (excerpt from the program notes by Pat Bronte).
