TCHAIKOVSKY: Romance in F minor Op. 5

Me playing the Romance in F minor by Tchaikovsky.

Written in November of 1868, the piece was dedicated to the Belgian Soprano Désirée Artôt. What makes the piece significant, is that Artôt was the only woman that Tchaikovsky, a homosexual man, ever truly loved. He even engaged and planned to marry her. However, the relationship was cut off when Artôt ran off and married a Spanish Baritone while on tour. It fell to Tchaikovsky's friend Nikolay Rubinstein to bring him the bad news.

I'm also working on an orchestral arrangement of this piece.
