Correspondence with Tchaikovsky

New page

Musical writer, critic, director of the [[Frankfurt-am-Main]] Museum-Gesellschaft (b. 1848 ; d. 1924).

After Tchaikovsky's concert on 3/15 January 1889 at the prestigious venue of the Museum-Gesellschaft, Sieger was very keen for the Russian composer to return to [[Frankfurt]] during the next winter season. Tchaikovsky had great misgivings about the conservative stamp of audiences and musicians alike in [[Frankfurt]] (which had partly been responsible for his decision to drop the overture ''[[The Year 1812]]'' from the concert he conducted in the city in January 1889), but he did accept Sieger's offer to conduct at the Museum-Gesellschaft again on 2/14 March 1890 <ref name="note1"/>. The latter hoped in particular that Tchaikovsky would acquaint the [[Frankfurt]] public with the orchestral fantasia ''[[Francesca da Rimini]]'', which he considered to be a masterpiece. Tchaikovsky did not, however, give any concerts at all in the first half of 1890, since he was absorbed in the composition of ''[[The Queen of Spades]]'', but later that year he did promise Sieger again that he would return to [[Frankfurt]] and conduct ''[[Francesca]]'', as well as the [[Serenade for String Orchestra]], at the Museum-Gesellschaft on 1/13 February 1891 <ref name="note2"/>. Unfortunately, this concert did not work out either due to other engagements, and Tchaikovsky duly apologized to Sieger, who had shown such sincere enthusiasm for his music <ref name="note3"/>.
