I don’t know if this opinion has been stated or not, and I don’t even know whether it’s at all unpopular, or not. I do know that some people think I’m an uncultured swine for this, but I don’t care, I know what I like and don’t like. I don’t like Tchaikovsky’s music. Most of it, anyway.

I find his music to be overly dramatic, “big” and yet feeling shallow, uand just ... ugh. His Piano Concerto No. 1 is by far the worst. Melodrama and glitter, no depth. Some people absolutely love it, but I honestly cannot stomach it. Just my opinion.

I do like his Seasons composition, and some of his valses, though.
