1937Observer 15 Aug. 3/3 When the time comes for an appraisal..it will not be the Tschaikowskian.., or the Egdon Heath Sibelius..who seems nearest to being a composer of the very greatest rank. 1945G. Abraham Tchaikovsky vii. 138 The G minor andante portion of the..penultimate scene stands out as truly Tchaïkovskian. 1967Listener 12 Jan. 73/3 It reminds one of what Tchaikovsky thought about Mozart, and incidentally of what Stravinsky—a Tchaikovskian to the hilt—thought about musical expression in general. 1973Gramophone 29 June 15/3 The violin concerto is the least Finnish of Sibelius's major works, and its combination of Tchaikovskyan elements with a cosmopolitan concerto-style was emphasised by Pinchas Zukerman's suave, uncommitted manner. 1977Ibid.
