The 1812 overture was composed by Tchaikovksy. It is about the battle of Waterloo (which took place in 1812), hence the name. In depicting the battle the piece contains sections of the French national anthem, as well as cannon fire.

Russian composer Tchaikovsky wrote the?

The most famous overture is the 1812 overture, celebrating the defeat of Napoleon. Tschaikovsky also wrote other overtures, most notable the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, also the Manfred Overture. There are probable others which I cannot think of at the moment, but these are less famous and less interesting. My favorite i the Romeo and Juliet Overture. note:The Manfred Overture was by Robert Schumann. Tchaikovsky wrote a four-movement program symphony titled Manfred.
