Mykola Leontovych
Mykola Leontovych specialised in a cappella choral music. He is remembered today mostly through the musical works he left behind, which include over 150 choral compositions. These range from artistic arrangements of folk songs, religious works (including his liturgy), cantatas, and choral compositions set to the words of various Ukrainian poets. His two most famous works are the choral miniatures "Schedryk" and "Dudaryk".
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Tchaikovsky wrote many works that are popular with the classical music public, including his "Romeo and Juliet", the "1812 Overture", his three ballets ("The Nutcracker", "Swan Lake", "The Sleeping Beauty") and "Marche Slave". These, along with his First Piano Concerto and his Violin Concerto, the last three of his six numbered symphonies and his operas "The Queen of Spades" and "Eugene Onegin", are among his most familiar works. Almost as popular are the "Manfred" Symphony, "Francesca da Rimini", the "Capriccio Italien" and the Serenade for Strings.
