Commemorating the centenary of Tchaikovsky's death, these essays
reassess the life and work of the composer from a variety of
perspectives, ranging from the musicological and biographical to
broader ones addressing his place in the development of the arts in
Europe and America. As they make clear, there is much about
Tchaikovsky's achievement that has been taken for granted, and the
essays included in this collection represent as much acts of
reevaluation as of celebration.
After a broad synthesis of Tchaikovsky's relation to the
literature, music, and theater of the 18th and 19th centuries,
there are sections devoted to Tchaikovsky and his musical
contemporaries; Tchaikovsky's lost opera, "The Oprichnik";
Tchaikovsky's mature operatic work; his place in Russian Orthodoxy
and nationalism; and contemporary perspectives on his life and
works. The volume concludes with discussions on Tchaikovsky
scholarship, the place of the composer in American and Russian
musical education, and the interpretation and performance of his
ballets. It is an important collection for scholars and other
researchers involved in Russian music and ballet.
