Tchaikovsky is the greatest musician in Russia and a master of romanticism and national music. His works have rich and delicate emotions, beautiful melodies, poetic temperament and simple thoughts. Although Tchaikovsky is the "most atypical" Russian composer, his works are often the easiest to reflect Russian characteristics because his music is mixed with too many elements of mainstream European music, and the piano concerto No.1 in B flat major has almost become a symbol of Russian spirit. Behind great passion, there must be a gentle and delicate side.
