Tchaikovsky was pretty busy during the Autumn of 1880. He was working on two pieces back-to-back, and to the composer, they were total opposites. One was an overture that he said had “no artistic merit…” the other piece, a beautiful Mozart-like serenade. We’ll hear the Serenade for Strings in C by Tchaikovsky, our Evening Masterwork tonight at 7, on Classical WSMR 89.1 and 103.9.
