[Life- edit ]
Tsjaikovki was born in an environment officer, shortly after the Russian Revolution . At age nine, he appeared at the Gnessin Music School, then at the Gnessin Academy and finally at the Moscow PI Tchaikovsky Conservatory (Russian: Московская Государственная Консерватория им П.И.Чайковского.). At the conservatory he studied first at Vissarion Shebalin, then two years with Dmitri Shostakovich and his exam in 1949 he did with and as a student of Nikolai Myaskovsky ; Shostakovich had just been fired in connection with his formalistic attitude.

After his musical studies he worked at the radio, but in 1952 he devoted himself entirely to composing. From 1989 to 1996 he taught composition at his former school, the Gnessin Academy of Music.

[Music edit ]
He is not nearly as well known as the other became Tchaikovsky and his reputation in the West began around 2006 to be only bigger. His music is influenced by Shostakovich, because Sjebalin was a pupil of Shostakovich. The music is much less extreme than that of Galina Ustvolskaya . Boris Tishchenko comes closest to him nearby.
