A giant in the pantheon of 19th century composers, Tchaikovsky
continues to enthrall audiences today. From the
Nutcracker--arguably the most popular ballet currently on the
boards--Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty, to Eugene Onegin and Pique
Dame, to the Symphony Pathetique and the always rousing,
canon-blasting 1812 Overture--this prolific and beloved composer's
works are perennial favorites. Now, John Wiley, a renowned
Tchaikovsky scholar, provides a fresh biography aimed in classic
Master Musicians style at the student and music lover. Wiley deftly
draws on documents from imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet era
sources, providing a more balanced look at recent controversies
surrounding the marriage, death, and sexuality of the composer. The
author dovetails the biographical material with separate chapters
that treat the music thoroughly and fully, work-by-work, with more
substantial explorations of Tchaikovsky's most familiar
compositions. These analyses present new, even iconoclastic
perspectives on the music and the composer's intent and expression.
Several informative appendices, in the Master Musicians format,
include an exhaustive list of works and bibliography.
