How should the name of the composer of the music for “Serenade” be spelled? Most Westerners now spell it Tchaikovsky, but City Ballet took up, during Balanchine’s lifetime, the spelling Tschaikovsky. Why? Because that’s how the composer spelled it when he was in New York in 1891. (My thanks to the reader who sent me a copy of his Carnegie Hall autograph from the Pierpont Morgan Library.)
Manfred is listed among the symphonies, with the note: Tchaikovsky labelled this work "a symphonic poem in four movements".
Is this true? If so, and given it’s not numbered as a symphony, we need to say some words about why it’s nowadays categorised under the symphonies and not under the symphonic poems. -- JackofOz ( talk) 07:35, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
It just seems far too much for a List of Works; it's almost a mini biography all by itself. It seems to be covering the same ground as Music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. This article is not intended to do anything other than what it says, list his works. Descriptions of them, and the big picture of his life and activities, are located elsewhere. Comments? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 02:38, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
I believe he had eleven operas. In the introduction, it says he had ten operas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.87.68.253 ( talk) 18:42, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
A polite enquiry: I may be missing something, but why on the above page, under 'ballets', is there also a list of stage works by one particular choreographer? Cg2p0B0u8m ( talk) 21:39, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
"Second, he was no Verdi, Puccini or Leoncavalo. While he could write music that was often beautiful and sometimes very moving, it was generally not as arresting dramatically as anything those three provided." --Perhaps this statement should be revisted and another quote provided given that Tchaikovsky operas have become a mainstay of most modern opera houses---and that they are thrilling! 69.60.7.34 ( talk) 00:41, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Just saying that this should link to the page where I got this from " /info/en/?search=List_of_compositions_by_Pyotr_Ilyich_Tchaikovsky", i.e. this page, where I got it from, but it should be pushed forward to the Tchaikovsky page. 77Mike77 ( talk) 21:58, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
