Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto

One thing I enjoy about classical music is how much contrast you can experience in a short time. There are a lot of ways composers guide the audience through a wide variety of emotions, sounds, colors, etc. Peter Tchaikovsky’s music takes the listener on a journey from the quaint and straightforward to the extraordinary and lavish.

Today, I am highlighting the first movement from Piano Concerto in Bb-Major by Tchaikovsky. Enjoy the wide range of dynamics, contrasting tone colors, tempos, and emotions that inhabit this work. Find the song at the top of the playlist to the right.
