"Swan Lake" is probably the most popular work by Tchaikovsky, because it contains all the elements that can capture the hearts of the audience; beautiful melodies, melancholy lyricism that tenderly moves the heart, sweet and sentimental feelings, sympathetic character, and a fantasic story presented in a poetic and dramatic manner.
Tchaikovsky had studied many romantic legends and fairy tales before writing this ballet piece, and so laid the foundation of a total art in which ballet and music are integrated to create a fantasic world of dreams.
"Russian Dance" is believed to be originally written as a solo dance for the main character Odile.
