“Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the most popular composer on the planet, is not only an ethnic Ukrainian, but his intonation base, melos, is based on the Ukrainian cultural tradition. Musicological works, of course, talk about his French and Russian origins, but all that incomprehensible and often criticized by musicologists Tchaikovsky’s protractedness is Ukrainian folk thoughts, patches. Nobody knows about this, because researchers are Moscow-centric, and our Ukrainians rewrite Moscow’s works, and in the West they don’t even know that Ukraine has its own identity,” said Kirill Stetsenko and, as an example, depicted the theme at the end of the first violin concerto.
“Musicologists write that it was a tipsy Russian peasant who threw his hat at his feet and started dancing,” says Stetsenko. In his opinion, Tchaikovsky actually made a two-stage modulation of the Ukrainian Cossack epic.
As PolitNavigator reported, the day before the Verkhovna Rada decided to celebrate the anniversary of the “Ukrainian writer” Nestor the Chronicler.
