The 1812 Overture celebrates the 70th anniversary of Russia's victory over Napoleon in 1812. The piece was written by Tchaikovsky, and he was commissioned by Cathedral of Christ the Savior to write it.
The 1812 Overture was specifically written by Tchaikovsky to be played outside the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow specifically with the accompaniment of live cannons.
a dismal fail
The most famous overture is the 1812 overture, celebrating the defeat of Napoleon. Tschaikovsky also wrote other overtures, most notable the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, also the Manfred Overture. There are probable others which I cannot think of at the moment, but these are less famous and less interesting. My favorite i the Romeo and Juliet Overture. note:The Manfred Overture was by Robert Schumann. Tchaikovsky wrote a four-movement program symphony titled Manfred.
