I mean his piano concerto no.1 is pretty famous and popular

@@thestarwarsmusiccomposer3491 close second

what about nutcracker?

Sure, his most famous piece. Not the Nutcracker which is only performed about 7 million times every goddamn Christmas. Certainly not Romeo and Juliet with a theme so famous it’s been made into pop songs. Definitely not Swan Lake! Who the hell’s ever heard of that? I seem to remember he got *three* different works of his excerpted in the three minute top ten hit medley from 1981 _Hooked on Classics_ while no-names like Mozart only got one. What a one-hit-wonder Tchaikovsky was. I never fail to be amazed by the absolute arrogance and stupidity of comments on KZfaq, especially the ones on this channel, which seems to engender a whole breed of know-it-all know-nothings, like the ass below who thinks Americans have no idea this piece is Russian just because it’s played on Independence Day. Christ.

@@user-js9zq1ug8hi honestly don’t think it’s as popular

Pretty inspiring tbh. Just shows that "passion" is not always necessary for art.

@@craigcraig6248 in a pinch, spite can be an acceptable substitute

technically emotion is passion so he filled that with pure anger still being passion if you think about it

Spite and passion is two side of the same coin

@@craigcraig6248 I got something different from it. That "passion" need not be positive. You can even be "passionately apathetic" towards something, as paradoxical as that sounds. After all, we humans and our feelings are nothing if not paradoxical.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing our videos with your students! more videos are on their way!

@@ClassicsExplained can you do Moroni, and Kunihiko?

You must be one of them cool teachers

Thank you!

Thank you so much! We really appreciate that. Getting views is still tough as we are very small, self-funding and really just doing this to cater for the fact that no similar resource really exists online that tells the story of classical music in an irreverent and accessible though carefully researched manner. So every supportive comment is very reassuring! Thank you. Still have a backlog of videos that are being animated to release

Thank you!

Yep!

already in production :)

@@ClassicsExplained Ooooooooh I can't wait

@@RachelDeRosier010894 me neither ^_^ I'm keenly interested to see the story behind Rhapsody, particularly after the interpretation given by Fantasia 2000!

@@ClassicsExplained are you gonna do Pines of Rome, The Carnival of the Animals and Rhapsody in Blue too?

_Fantasia_ 1975.

T-kovsky! 😂😂😂

Thank you for the suggestion! Adding it to our list :)

One of my favorites. Programmatic music seems to go fantastically well with these animations too!

Love this piece as well !!!

@@ClassicsExplained what about Bolero and Pines of Rome?

We really appreciate this - very kind of you. It's hard being a small channel when we are essentially self-funding and doing this in our spare time. Not really had much opportunity to market it. Ultimately, we really want to cater for the fact that nothing really exists on youtube that does this in the same manner. Takes time but we will get there - and so your supportive comment is very reassuring :)

Thank you for watching!

Nice change of style of animation. I like that you are experimenting with new thechniques

@@thepedrothethethe6151 Thank you for your heartwarming feedback!

Thank you - glad it has introduced you to some great pieces :)

Thanks so much!!

Me too!

You are too kind. Thank you.

@@ClassicsExplained I suggest you to make a video on Vivaldi's Four Seasons. That would be awesome 😁

Try Respighi's Pines of Rome next. It can provide an example of recording nature in music. @@ClassicsExplained

Thank you so much - your comment and support is much appreciated :)

You're too kind - thank you :)

Ah thank you so much - really really appreciated :)

Due to the increased speed of production, we had to expand our animation team that's why the change of style, though you'll see more videos in the original style soon!

Yes! Thanks for this comment

Ah yes the Czar

Hi, thanks for the suggestion! Adding it to our list!

I know right! That's why we thought it would be a fun - and interesting - one to release

@@ClassicsExplained Exactly! Russia is such forgotten and hated country it makes me sad...

@@dawedwscz1098 Absolutely! Its the American imperialism that twists and silences everything Russian, its history, culture, people and so on.. Great respect to the content creators like this channel is for not ignoring the contribution of Russia to the history of our human civilization.

Especially since for Americans the War of 1812 means something completely different from what it means for Russians, I bet many think Tchaikovsky wrote the piece to celebrate the draw in the American-British war of 1812 :) I've always thought it incredibly ironic that culmination of every American Independence Day celebration features God Save the Tsar. Celebrating independence from one Imperial power by playing Imperial anthem of another is the last thing I expected. I wonder how/when the 1812 overture became a staple of the Independence Day festivities; time to google!
