Bio
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born in Votkinsk. His genius was evident early as he began composing at age six and was fluent in three languages. Tchaikovsky studied with Nikolai Rubinstein at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. He taught at the newly opened Moscow Conservatory and began composing in earnest. He looked up to the Mighty Five but in many ways, he surpassed their achievements in notoriety and legacy.
