Tchaikovsky - Romeo and Juliet [ANALYSIS]

Музыка

At first, Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet was not successful either in Russia or in Europe. But a small but powerful group of musicians showed its appreciation for it: Camille Saint-Saëns, in France, and the group of five in Russia. Romeo and Juliet went from a criticized piece to one of the most loved of all times. Its love theme, with its passionate melody, has sunk into our own consciousness.
Enjoy this brief analysis of this great repertoire work, its structure, its imagination, and, as always, some conducting tips.

    I loved this analysis! I was just wondering what sources you used for your research and/or where your ideas came from, since I'm trying to write an analysis myself and am struggling a bit

    Thank you! The historical part comes mostly from his letters, especially the ones to his brother and to Balakirev in this case. They're freely available on project gutemberg: www.gutenberg.org/files/45259/45259-h/45259-h.htm The bonus episode is also based on the correspondence with Balakirev: www.patreon.com/posts/42317879 The score analysis in all of the videos is all mine. Which kind of analysis are you writing?

    @@ggriglio That's great! I'm writing one for school/scholarship. So I have to analyse the score looking specifically at 5 musical elements of my choice. And then I have to analyse the work in relation to Tchaikovsky and look at the historical context surrounding the piece. I've done most of the score analysis, so I'm working on the historical part now. I've read a couple of books about Tchaikovsky, but the letters are super helpful, thank you

    Dvořak wrote Romeo and Juliet overture and he wasn't satisfied so he destroyed it with other pieces.. They wrote in newspapers that he wrote it. He was a perfectionist, burner of pieces. But the fact that Dvořak and Tchaikovsky became friends is quite ok.. and their music is noble. The Tchaikovsky version is extraordinary with interesting motifs. Like for example, the Nutcracker is full of ideas too.

    Yeah this piece wasn't well received and a lot of critics hated it, but it's crazy to see how much the perception of it has changed.

    There are three versions of this work, one from 1869, another from 1970 and another, the one we normally hear, from 1880. The versions of 1869 and 1870 are very different (a new introduction and a new development). In the 1880 version Tchaikovsky made changes before the coda and in the coda. In youtube are the 1869 complete version and the 1870 version finale.
