Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the man behind this piece of music, was a famous Russian composer, known for his symphonies, operas, concertos, chamber music and ballets. Many of his works are regarded as some of the best pieces of theatrical music in classical repertoire. His ballets, such as The Nutcracker, are amongst most popular ballets in the world. George Balanchine, whose version of The Nutcracker gained popularity in the US, was himself a student of Tchaikovsky.

Tchaikovsky was the first Russian composer whose music made a lasting impression globally. He would go on to guest conduct all over the world, including in the US and in Europe. One of his most popular American appearances was at the Carnegie Hall's inaugural concert in New York City. In 1884, he was honored by Emperor Alexander III and awarded a lifetime pension. Surprisingly, Tchaikovsky's education was for a career as a civil servant, despite his talent for music. This was due to the lack of musical careers in Russia at the time, with no public music education system. However, when the opportunity presented itself, Tchaikovsky enrolled in the Saint Petersburg Conservatory in 1865.

At the conservatory, he received western-style teaching in music, unlike other Russian composers of his time, most notably The Five. This set him apart musically and professionally. This style of learning helped him compose music that married his native Russian musical styles with Western European, though this did not prove to be an easy task, since the fundamentals of both styles of music differed greatly in terms of melody and harmony. His personal life also displayed itself in his music, from the early death of his mother, to that of Nikolai Rubinstein, his close friend and colleague.

During his lifetime, his music gained much more popularity amongst audiences than it did with critics, particularly due to the unusual nature of his music Decades after his death, critics went on to praise his works, which have become some of the most popular today. Indeed, The Nutcracker is, without doubt one of the most played ballets in the world. His Fourth Symphony, similarly, has gained much fanfare, and you should hear it live with Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony tickets in hand.
