A great composer comes to life in this vivid, exciting story of
Peter Tchaikovsky, a young man driven by his genius through the
early years of his career and on to enviable success and world
recognition. Peter's unhappy apprenticeship in law ended when he
absentmindedly nibbled on and ruined an important legal document.
If his family considered his failure a disgrace, to Peter it was an
omen. Now he was free to pursue and perhaps capture the music that
sang in his head. When he left St. Petersburg to teach in Moscow,
he took the first decisive step on his colorful road to fame. But
success did not come easily, and Peter learned to endure the hard
pinch of poverty before the wealthy Madame von Meck became his
patroness, providing him with a generous income. Always enchanted
with the world of childhood and far more at ease in it than in the
more demanding world of adults, Peter began to write ballets for
his sister Alexandra's children. The Sleeping Beauty was followed
by Swan Lake, and finally he created The Nutcracker Ballet, which
assured his place in the hearts of children and adults alike. Opal
Wheeler writes with happy and intimate warmth, portraying a great
man as appealingly human, and presenting simple piano arrangements
of six of his most familiar, best-loved compositions.
