Vasily Kalinnikov was a Russian composer, and "Chanson triste" is not a composition associated with him. The piece you are referring to is likely composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. "Chanson triste," which translates to "Sad Song" in English, is the second movement of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74, also known as the "Pathétique Symphony." This symphony is one of Tchaikovsky's final works and is renowned for its emotional depth and expressive power.
