His last name derives from chayka (?????) which means gull. Musically precocious, he began piano lessons at the age of five. He went on to study at the St. Petersburg Conservatory from 1861 to 1865. In 1866, he was appointed professor of theory and harmony at the Moscow Conservatory, established that year. He held the post until approximately 1878.","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826869174326,"sku":"TCHAIK MUS 4","price":14.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/tchaikovsky-danse-des-merlitons-arr-peters-230-x-5m-opt-bm-os.jpg?v=1773486723","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/tchaikovsky-danse-des-merlitons-arr-peters-230-x-5m-opt-bm-os","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
