Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893) was a Russian composer during the late-Romantic period. Although his music was and remains popular, it originally received a mixed critical reception, with some Russian commentators feeling that it did not represent their native musical values. Conversely, prominent western critics also claimed that it did not follow western principles adequately. Despite this, Tchaikovsky's work is some of the most popular music in the classical repertoire. This volume contains the complete score for Pyotr Tchaikovsky's 1878 work "Children's Album, Op.39". Contents include: "Morning Prayer", "Winter Morning", "Mama", "The Little Horseman", "March of the Wooden Soldiers", "The New Doll", "The Sick Doll", "The Doll's Burial", "Waltz", " Polka", "Mazurka", et cetera. Classic Music Collection constitutes an extensive library of the most well-known and universally-enjoyed works of classical music ever composed, reproduced from authoritative editions for the enjoyment of musicians and music students the world over.

Eugene Onegin is the most popular of Tchaikovsky's operas. Entitled 'Lyrical Scenes after Pushkin' by the composer, the work takes as its basis the poem of the same name by the great Russian writer Alexander Pushkin.
