The Little-Russian Kazachok (Малороссийский казачок), was an arrangement for solo piano by Tchaikovsky (TH 174 ; ČW 407) [1] of the orchestral fantasia Kazachok by Aleksandr Dargomyzhsky (1813-1869).
Instrumentation
Scored for solo piano (2 hands).
Movements and Duration
There is one movement: Allegro (C minor)—Andante (C major) (271 bars), lasting around 6 minutes in performance.
History
No information has survived regarding Tchaikovsky's work on this arrangement, which was probably made towards the end of 1866. It may have been carried out at the request of friends — most likely the Shilovskys, who were related to Dargomyzhsky and often visited him [2].
Publication
Tchaikovsky's arrangement was published by Pyotr Jurgenson in December 1866 (plate 334, 11 pages), simultaneously with Dargomyzhsky's full score and arrangement for piano 4 hands [3]. It was included in volume 60 of Tchaikovsky's Complete Collected Works (1971), edited by Georgy Kirkor.
Autographs
The manuscript score of Tchaikovsky's arrangement is now preserved in the Russian National Museum of Music in Moscow (ф. 88, No. 166 [view]).

Related Works
Dargomyzhsky's orchestral fantasia Kazachok ('Cossack Dance') was completed in 1864. The change of title to Little-Russian Kazachok in Jurgenson's published edition emphasizes the Ukrainian nature of the themes, with "Little Russia" being an old term for the Ukraine (as in Tchaikovsky's "Little Russian" symphony).
