notes

Late nineteenth century Russian music was dominated by the opera and ballet in the "public" realm and by songs, especially the romance, in the "private" musical world of both the salon and the humbler parlor. The preëminence of lyrical-based forms meant that the more abstract realm of chamber music was there less actively cultivated than in the rest of Europe. Although Tchaikovsky was not the first Russian composer of chamber music, he made a significant contribution to the genre with his three string quartets and the Souvenir de Florence string sextet.
