About this product

Product Information

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky has become one of the world's most enduringly beloved composers. Ranging from Swan Lake to Eugene Onegin , from the Pathetique to Romeo and Juliet , his work is seen as perhaps the extreme expression of 19th-century musical romanticism. But less familiar is his well-documented life, not only as a prolific composer but also as a sensitive and generous man. This book aims to give a fully rounded account of the man as both public and private figure. The author has researched both the vast documentation and the newly opened archives in Russia. His material includes an account of the composer's school years, an analysis of his correspondence with his patroness, Nadezhda von Meck, and, most controversially, a detailed refutation of the myth of Tchaikovsky's suicide.
