Description

Composed in 1880 for an Arts and Industry Exhibition to commemorate Russia's victory over Napoleon's forces in 1812, Tchaikovsky's Overture No. 49 is one of the composer's most popular works.

The premiere took place on August 20, 1882, with the orchestra conducted by Ippolit Altani. Despite initial disappointment from the composer, numerous performances followed its publication, showcasing the work's enduring appeal.

This edition uses Tchaikovsky's original manuscript as the primary source, correcting changes made in previous publications and providing a more accurate representation of the composer's intentions.
