"I accidentally wrote a serenade for strings in four movements [...] Whether it's because this is my latest creation or because it's not that bad, I just love this serenade terribly [...]. It is a very simple form, as only 5 voices are needed." – thus Tchaikovsky announced the Serenade for Strings in C Major, Op. 48 to his publisher Jurgenson. The first public performance took place in St. Petersburg in the fall of 1881, and the success of the serenade subsequently continued internationally, through the composer's tours of Western Europe.
