This volume contains authoritative Russian editions of three of Tchaikovsky's most

most beloved of all classical music compositions, thrilling audiences with its stirring
martial themes and spectacular climax of roaring cannons and pealing church bells.
Marche Slave, Op. 31, memorable for its poignancy and somber beauty, is a
mainstay of the orchestral repertoire. This new compilation of popular masterworks
concludes with the lovely and moving Francesca da Rimini, Op. 32, a dramatic tone
poem considered to be among Tchaikovsky's finest compositions, with over twenty
current recordings by the world's great orchestras. This volume will be welcomed

rewards of following Tchaikovsky's exceptional orchestration.
