Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840äóñ1893) created works which rank among the most popular music in the entire classical repertoire, including his ballets Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker and Swan Lake, and his operas The Queen of Spades, Iolanta and Eugene Onegin, his Violin Concerto in D and Symphony No.4. He was the first composer from his homeland whose music made a lasting impression internationally, reinforced by his appearances as a guest conductor in Europe and the United States.
Hugely prolific, Tchaikovsky was also versatile. His vast repertoire included ballets, operas, symphonies, concertos, commissioned orchestral works, orchestral suites and serenades, incidental music for other composers, chamber music, piano pieces, choral music and arrangements for others. His music continues to appear in popular media, from Walt Disney's 1940 animation, Fantasia, to AC-DC's 'Let There Be Rock'.
To honour this creative genius, Montegrappa has designed this limited edition pen, known as Black Swan, limited to 1840 fountain pens in recognition of the year of his birth. The pen is made in Black resin for the cap and barrel and has been embellished with challenging laser-cut engravings of his portrait and signature on the cap, and an excerpt from Swan Lake's music original score.
Sterling Silver trim has been applied to each of the 1840 pens, etched with a Montegrappa logo and his lifetime years on the cap ring. The blind cap is inscribed with the Limited Edition number, while the signature clip resembles a flute, the composer's favourite instrument. The cap top is fashioned with a slanted cut, with the "Sol" key central, enriched with a Swarovski crystal stone. The fountain pen is both converter and cartridge fed. The nib is made in 18k gold with a ballet-dancer from Swan Lake etched on its top and is available in the writing grades of Fine, Medium and Broad.
Presented in an elegant polished black lacquer storage box.
