<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''''He is Going''''' (Он идёт) was a humorous song supposedly written by Tchaikovsky to words by [[Aleksey Apukhtin]] during the first half of the 1860s ([[ČW]] 434) <ref name="note1"/>.<br />
<br />
According to Fyodor Malinin's memoirs, one day Tchaikovsky and [[Aleksey Apukhtin]] were walking along the Nevsky Prospekt in [[Saint Petersburg]] when a tall and stately guardsman outstripped them. Then and there [[Apukhtin]] fashioned a short poem ''He is Going'' and Tchaikovsky set it to music <ref name="note2"/>.<br />
<br />
There is no other evidence to corroborate this account, and neither the score nor the poem has been traced.<br />
