His works are full of strong dramatic conflict and fiery emotional color. 
He wrote three ballet music in his life: 
"Swan Lake" (1875-1876), "Sleeping Beauty" (1888-1889) and "The Nutcracker" (1891-1892), 
all of which have become influential works in the world of ballet art, 
widely spread on the ballet stage of various countries.

and the Accent Symphony Orchestra reproduces the classics.

The music of "Swan Lake" is like a romantic lyric poem, and the music of each scene is excellent in the description of the scene, the promotion of the dramatic contradiction , and the portrayal of the characters and hearts of each character. In "Swan Lake", he expresses a poetic mood with romantic lyrical brushstrokes, depicting the protagonist's beautiful and pure character and loyal love; The pure inner world of Princess Tower; there are also gorgeous and bright dance music, showing the sunshine and vitality of Prince Siegfried. At the same time, it depicts the contradictions and conflicts of hostile forces with majestic dramatic force. These dance drama music, which is full of poetic and dramatic power, and has a high symphonic development principle, are still the model works of ballet music.

The Nutcracker is recognized as one of the greatest classical ballet works in the world. An important reason why it can be performed for a hundred years and endure for a long time is that Tchaikovsky's music endows the ballet with a strong appeal. It is full of simple and mysterious fairy tale colors and strong children's music characteristics. "The Nutcracker" is a typical Tchaikovsky's later work. He uses strings delicately to make the background music of the work shine, and shows the realism that is rarely seen in ordinary music. Tchaikovsky's music is very dramatic and full of tension. The cello and oboe are full of emotion, and the climax is full of climax. As early as 1891, when Petipa choreographed, the requirement for music was "to be like a fountain, with water droplets everywhere". Among them , the music of Candy Fairy's solo dance is pleasant to the ear , playing a fantastic, sweet sound like a celestial being, like a silver bell, which is unforgettable.

Tchaikovs once commented on "Sleeping Beauty": "The dance scene is full of poetry and very suitable for music, so fun and enthusiasm accompany my entire creative process, and generally speaking, this is what determines the value of any work. factor." The music in "Sleeping Beauty" is fantastic. Tchaikovsky once wrote to his friend Mrs. Meck: "...I seem to think this ballet music is my best creation. The subject is so poetic, so musical, I am very impressed with it. Great enthusiasm to write it, and a valuable piece of music depends on this enthusiasm." It is based on this enthusiasm that the music of "Sleeping Beauty" can be famous for centuries.
