The Tchaikovsky Competition is one of the most difficult and important musical competitions. Its program is not only complex and varied, but also specific to a certain extent. I mean, first of all, the specificity of the works of P. I. Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky imposes on musicians, in addition to the usual requirements - general musicality, technical equipment, one more thing: a special sense of beauty. In the interpretation of his works, not only talent is needed, but also a large insight that even the most outstanding teacher can’t bring up.
