In the course of his musical career Tchaikovsky attained a thorough mastery of orchestration as he strove to intensify the expressiveness of his musical language. This volume combining authoritative full-score editions of his first three symphonies popularly known as "Winter Daydreams " the "Little Russian " and the "Polish" affords composers musicians and music students a unique opportunity to study his development. All three symphonies two of which incorporate Russian folk tunes were successful on their first performances. Symphony No. 2 remains especially popular but all are increasingly heard in concert and on recordings.
