Tchaikovsky is best known for his purely instrumental compositions. However, we must not underestimate him as a composer of operas. Many of his operas such as ¬Pique Dame and Eugene Onegin are still performed regularly throughout the world. Eugene Onegin (also called Jevgeny Onegin), composed in 1877-1878, was not called an opera by Tchaikovsky himself, but “lyric scenes”. The work is entirely dominated by lyricism. However, there are two moments that contrast sharply with this lyricism: two ball scenes, for which Tchaikovsky wrote a waltz and a polonaise.After opening with a less well-known allegro dansant, this arrangement features the aforementioned waltz, which can beconsidered a beautiful Russian equivalent of the Faust Waltz by Charles Gounod. In the opera, this waltz is actually played by a military band. The arrangement concludes with the pompous polonaise (also mentioned above) which opens the last act: the ideal music to characterize high aristocracy in the salon of a palace in St. Petersburg.

Tchaikowsky ist berühmt für seine rein instrumentalen Kompositionen. Er ist jedoch auch als Opernkomponist nicht zu unterschätzen.Viele seiner OPern werden immoernoch regelmäßig auf der ganzen Welt aufgeführt, wie zum Beispiel Pique Dame und Eugen OneginEugen Onegin wurde in den Jahren 1877 bis 1878 komponiert und von Tschaikowsky selbst zunächst nicht als Oper, sondern als lyrische Szenen betitelt. Der lyrische Charakter ist im ganzen Werk vorherrschend. Zwei Stellen kontrastieren jedoch deutlich mit dieser Lyrik: zwei Ballszenen ,für die Tschaikowsky einen Walzer uns eine Polonaise schrieb.Nach einem weniger bekannten Allegro Dansant als Eröffung,stellt dieses Arrangement vor allem den oben genannten Walzer in den Vordergrund, welcher guten Herzens als ein schönes russisches Gegenstück zu Charles Gounods Faustwalzer bezeichnet werden kann. In der Oper wird dieser Walzer von einer Militärkapelle gespielt. Das Arrangement schließt mit der erwähnten pompösen Polonaise, die den letztzen Akt eröffnet: die ideale Musik, um ein Bild des Hochadels im Salon eines Petersburger Palastes zu zeichnen.

EUGENE ONEGIN, based on a verse-novel by Alexander Pushkin, is Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky's (1840-1893) best-known opera. The story depicts the life of the titular Onegin, a Russian dandy who does not understand himself, his emotions, or the value of life, leading him to reject an impassioned declaration of love by a woman he looks down upon and instead pursue the fiancée of his friend, who he kills in a duel as a result of this pursuit. The provincial WALTZ, brought here to a higher level of sophistication by Tchaikovsky, is performed at the ball honoring Tatyana's name day at the beginning of Act II. This orchestral work has found a popular home on the concert stage and outside the full opera. Instrumentation: 2+Picc.2.2.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).

These products are currently being prepared by a new publisher. While many items are ready and will ship on time, some others may see delays of several months.
