The Unknown Tchaikovsky
Portrayed as a hopeless romantic, a suffering melancholic, or a morbid obsessive, the Tchaikovsky we think we know is a shadow of a fascinating reality. This lecture describes the unknown Tchaikovsky, focusing on his first and last symphonies, “Winter Dreams” and the “Pathétique,” and filling in the details of his fabulously well-to-do international life.
