Oh my God, how much I could ramble about this one...

First off, this is mislabeled as Tchaikovsky. It's actually by Mikhail Glinka. My youth orchestra is playing this at tomorrow's concert (wish me luck, guys!), and that's how I came across this piece. It's really fast and really fun. But wait, there's more! This is the overture to an opera, and one day, I looked up the actual opera on Wikipedia to see what it was about. The plot is really weird (like, a giant head shows up in the middle, #NoSeriouslyThatsCanon) and I love it so much. Many band inside jokes were obtained from this research I did. I suggest you at least listen to the link above if you like classical music.
