       Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
       RUSSIAN COMPOSER
       "Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Tchaikovsky also spelled Chaikovsky,
       Chaikovskii, or Tschaikowsky, name in full Anglicized as Peter
       Ilich Tchaikovsky (born April 25 [May 7, New Style], 1840,
       Votkinsk, Russia—died October 25 [November 6], 1893, St.
       Petersburg), the most popular Russian composer of all time. His
       music has always had great appeal for the general public in
       virtue of its tuneful, open-hearted melodies, impressive
       harmonies, and colourful, picturesque orchestration, all of
       which evoke a profound emotional response. His oeuvre includes 7
       symphonies, 11 operas, 3 ballets, 5 suites, 3 piano concertos, a
       violin concerto, 11 overtures (strictly speaking, 3 overtures
       and 8 single movement programmatic orchestral works), 4
       cantatas, 20 choral works, 3 string quartets, a string sextet,
       and more than 100 songs and piano pieces."
