Introduction to Piano Concerto No. 1

"Piano Concerto No. 1" was composed by Tchaikovsky. This piano music was composed by Tchaikovsky in the opera "Ye Fu". The first draft of one of the important works before "Gany Onegin" was written in early 1875. Later, between 1880 and 1893, the author consulted the opinions of many performers and revised it twice before finalizing it.

The experience of this piano concerto has many similarities with the author's "Violin Concerto in D Major". It did not gain public recognition at the beginning. Originally this work was dedicated to Nikolai Rubinstein, but Rubinstein, who was always very sensitive to all valuable new things in the world of music and art, this time was very interested in Tchaikovsky's work on the piano concerto genre. The first time I tried it, I was negative.
