[Russian Music] Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilyich. (1840–1893). Concerto No.3 pour Piano Op.75 . Moscow: P. Jurgenson. [1894]. First edition. Piano score with reduction of the orchestral score for 2nd piano. Upright folio, gray printed wrappers. 51 pp. [PN] 19618. First edition in this arrangement, printed around the same time as the first edition in full score [with plate number 19616]. Fragile wrappers toned, some moderate chipping around edges and spine, small area of abrasion, otherwise fine and very clean throughout. Rare, Worldcat listing only 1 copy.
Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. post. 75, was begun as a symphony in E flat. The symphony was abandoned, only to become a single-movement Allegro brillante when published posthumously. Controversy remains, despite the composer's stated intentions, as to what form this concerto would have taken had Tchaikovsky completed it to his satisfaction. In a letter to Polish pianist and composer Sigismund Stojowski on October 6, 1893, Tchaikovsky writes: "As I wrote to you, my new Symphony [the Pathétique] is finished. I am now working on the scoring of my new (third) concerto for our dear Diémer. When you see him, please tell him that when I proceeded to work on it, I realized that this concerto is of depressing and threatening length. Consequently I decided to leave only part one which in itself will constitute an entire concerto. The work will only improve the more since the last two parts were not worth very much."
