Boris Tchaikovsky information

Boris Alexandrovich Tchaikovsky (Russian: Борис Александрович Чайковский; 10 September 1925 – 7 February 1996), PAU, was a Soviet and Russian composer, born in Moscow, whose oeuvre includes orchestral works, chamber music and film music.^[1] He is considered as part of the second generation of Russian composers,^{[clarification needed]} following in the steps of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (to whom he was not related^[2]) and especially Mussorgsky.

He was admired by Dmitri Shostakovich, with whom he studied, who (according to Per Skans in his notes for a recording)^[which?] suggested in a letter of 1 February 1969 to Isaak Glikman, that "If Barshai's orchestra (the Moscow chamber orchestra) makes a guest appearance in Leningrad playing Vainberg's Tenth Symphony and Boris Tchaikovsky's Sinfonietta, you really have to hear them".^{[citation needed]}

Of his larger-scale works almost all have been recorded.^{[citation needed]} Boris Tchaikovsky generally wrote in a tonal style, although he made brief forays into serialism.^{[clarification needed]}
