May 7, 1840, was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth
century: Peter Illich Tchaikovsky. The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a child
and later studied composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. His greatest period of productivity
occurred between 1876 and 1890, during which time he enjoyed the patronage of Madame Von Meck, a
woman he never met, who gave him a living stipend of about 1,000 a year. Madame Von Meck later
terminated her friendship with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living allowance, when she herself was
facing financial difficulties. It was during the time of Madame Von Meck’ s patronage , however, that
Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous , including the music for the ballets of
Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty . Tchaikovsky’s music, well known for its rich melodic and
sometimes melancholy passages, was one of the first that brought serious dramatic music to
dance .Before this, little attention had been given to the music behind the dance .Tchaikovsky died on
November 6, 1893, ostensibly of cholera, although there are now some scholars who argue that he
committed suicide.
