@Natalia7991 Tchaikovsky was Russian, not Polish.

I'm totally imagining the dance that goes along with this every time I listen :)

disney's fantasia anyone?

@ChordN I think the confusion comes from a period called the classical period and a musical genre called classical. Just as today one could argue that there was a "golden age of rock" such an era would not make it so that every musician from that time was a rock musician nor would it entail that rock is confined to that time period. The genre you mention is classical, though the pieces come from a variety of different eras.

@spymanta first of a lot of musical professors very often use 3 eras(or four if you include baroque which i stated in my original comment) making baroque and classical assimilated together , making vivaldi a classical composer in contemporary terms. secondly i was not trying to sound arrogant i was just telling people the historical background of the piece and music in general so they are better informed and better enthralled in the world of music thats all :)

@ChordN Vivaldi is not classical as well,he is baroque! I usually dont like people who think they are better than others,you are no exception.

[ashnty]

good shit to paint to. yup.

[ChordN]

first of all this is not classical music....music is set into 3 or 4 (if you count baroque) eras

(Baroque) ,Classical, Romantic, and contemporary.....Tchaikovsky music was created during the romantic era so he is not a classical composer like Mozart and Vivaldi....saying that you love classical music as a comment just makes you look immature in musical knowledge.

@MsNatalie02 You can understand why people get confused though surely, Tchaikovsky does sound kind of polish.
