The Music of Berlioz

One of the most original composers of the 19th (or any) Century, Berlioz polarised public opinion then – and seemingly ever since – about the quality of his music.

To many contemporaries who were expecting “four-square” music he lacked

melody, whereas Berlioz is often profoundly melodic, using long-phrased and distinctively individual melodies.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Music Of Tchaikovsky

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky ·

Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky in English, was a Russian composer of the Romantic era. Tchaikovsky wrote music across a range of genres, including symphony, opera, ballet, instrumental, chamber and song.

He wrote some of the most popular concert and theatrical music in the current classical repertoire, including the ballets

, as well as the 1812 Overture, his First Piano Concerto, his last three numbered symphonies, and the opera Eugene Onegin.

Although perennially popular with concert audiences across the world, Tchaikovsky's music was often dismissed by critics in the early and mid-20th century as being vulgar

and lacking in elevated thought. By the end of the 20th century, however, Tchaikovsky's status as a significant composer was generally regarded as secure.
