🎶 On 20 August 1882, “The Year 1812” overture by P.Tchaikovsky, commemorating Russia’s defeat of Napoleon, was debuted in Moscow under a tent near the then-unfinished Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.
The piece belongs to a specific kind of musical works, to be performed at open-air venues or in large halls. It best known for its climactic volley of cannon fire, ringing chimes and a brass fanfare finale. P.Tchaikovsky noted in the manuscript score that “the bells should be large, and all of the same pitch; they should be struck in the manner of celebratory ringing”, and that the cannon should be “the instrument used in theatres to depict a cannon shot”.
🎻 Ever since its premiere, the overture has been among the best-known and most frequently performed of P.Tchaikovsky's works along with his “The Nutcracker” (1892), “The Sleeping Beauty” (1889-1890) and “Swan Lake” (1875-1876).
