Each was written at a time of dire personal crisis in the life of its composer and each marked an enormous artistic advance over the artist's previous output. It was in the spring of 1877 when Tchaikovsky began the fourth symphony at a time when he was fighting off a severe attack of mental depression. The summer and early fall of this year were almost disastrous for the composer and ended in his nervous collapse. Only the care of his brother Anatole the friendship of Nicholas Rubenstein and the wonderful generosity of not just one Mac made a full recovery possible. But it was not until the early part of the next year 1878 that the Fourth Symphony was completed
together with the opera Eugene and Yangon began about the same time as the symphony. Soon thereafter the violin concerto was emerging from his pen.
