Tchaikovsky's Six Romances (Шесть романсов), Op. 16 (TH 95 ; ČW 218-223), were written in Moscow in December 1872 and January 1873.
The romances were composed by Tchaikovsky in Moscow, apparently soon after finishing work on his Second Symphony. On 2/14 November 1872 he wrote that: "... the symphony, which I'm finishing off, has engrossed me so deeply that I'm not able to do anything else" . By 15/27 November the symphony was ready and copied out . In letters to his father of 22 November/4 December and 9/21 December. Tchaikovsky reported that he was going to relax after completing his symphony. and not write anything further . But on 10/22 December he told Modest Tchaikovsky: "Now I am forced to rest by the absence of any inspiration or inclination to compose; I did try to write some romances, but somehow they all came out badly, and I couldn't find words that I liked. If you aren't particularly busy, could you send me a list of suitable verses? I've filled a whole ream of paper with verses, but they are all so terrible that not one of them is suitable to set to music" . It seems that in December, not having found an appropriate text, Tchaikovsky wrote the words himself for the romance So What? (No. 5).
Modest Tchaikovsky understood that the Op. 16 romances were written in December 1872 . This information is contained in a letter from Tchaikovsky to Vasily Bessel concerning the publication of the pieces: "During his stay in Saint Petersburg [in December 1872] Tchaikovsky often met with... members of the so-called "mighty-handful"... One evening at Rimsky-Korsakov's [8], Pyotr Ilyich played his new symphony on the piano, precipitating an enthusiastic response from all those present... Tchaikovsky then presented Bessel with his latest Six Romances, Op. 16, for publication. which had only just been composed" .
The author's opinion that the romance So What? (No. 5) was the best of the Op. 16 set is borne out in a letter to Vasily Bessel of 21 February/5 March 1873: "I recommended ... one of my new romances to Madame Raab, namely So What?" .
Scored for high voice (Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6), or low voice (No. 3), with piano accompaniment.
