This fabulous inclusive volume has been accurately edited and fingered by Philipp Mittell. These terrific post-romantic concerti are full ofpractical instructional usage and melodic joy to encourage and inspire younger players students or pianists who enjoy the late Romantic repertoire.

Revised and fingered by Philipp Mittell. This work was written following the composer's disastrous three-month unconsummated marriage to Antonina Ivanova Milioukov thought to be a former pupil of Tchaikovsky. After this painful chapter in his life he attempted suicide by standing in the Moscow River's freezing waters hoping to contract pneumonia. The composition of this concerto became a sort of therapy for the emotionally wounded Tchaikovsky.
