Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake

Today's episode is a discussion of obsessions: mine with Tchaikovsky and Mick's with Coke Zero #notsponsored Tchaikovsky's writing for Swan Lake was not well received at the time of its premiere, but it has set the standard for the music people expect to hear at the ballet.

WoO Beethoven!

We all love Beethoven, but on this episode we say "woo" a lot. Why? Well, when a great composer leaves behind unpublished pieces of music someone has to categorize them somehow, and the WoO (Worke ohne Opus) numbering system was born.
