TCHAIKOVSKY IN ENGLAND
P. I. Tchaikovsky first visited England in 1861. "London is very interesting", he wrote to his father in St. Petersburg, "but it makes a rather gloomy impression". Twenty-seven years later Tchaikovsky arrived in London to begin his first foreign tour. His concerts were marked by the London press as an important event. In the following year he visited London again and his fourth and final visit was in the last year of his life. It was in 1893.
On the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Cambridge University Musical Society Tchaikovsky with the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, the French composer Saint-Saens and some other European composers were elected as Doctors of Music.
In 1884 Tchaikovsky began to study English. Later he mentioned that his progress was considerable and that he could quite easily read Dickens in the original.
