Inspired by Dante's "Inferno," Tchaikovsky initially envisioned an opera but instead composed a 24-minute orchestral fantasia in 1876. "Francesca da Rimini" showcases the composer's late romantic style, utilizing powerful orchestral forces. The piece premiered on March 9, 1877, in Moscow under Nikolay Rubinstein. This edition is a digitally enhanced reissue of the original score published around 1900 in Leipzig by Ernst Eulenburg, offering a fresh perspective on Tchaikovsky's evocative work.
