1840 Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Russian composer, born in the Ural region (Marche Slave, 1812 Overture, Swan Lake, Nutcracker Suite, Romeo and Juliet, Sleeping Beauty)

Something interesting about the 1812 Overture, for instance, it wasn't written in 1812.

The Year 1812, Solemn Overture, Op. 49, popularly known as the 1812 Overture, is a concert overture in E♭ major written in 1880 by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The piece commemorates Russia's successful defense against the French invasion of the nation in 1812.

The overture's first public performance didn't take place until 20 August, 1882, under a tent, near the still unfinished Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, which also memorialised the 1812 defence of Russia.
