Description 1 online resource (xix, 297 pages) : illustrations, portraits, music Contents Correspondence between Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's parents -- Letters by Fanny Dürbach to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and his brothers -- Letters by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky -- Musical souvenirs -- Key documents Summary "This fascinating collection of letters, notes, and miscellanea from the archives of the Tchaikovsky State House-Museum sheds new light on the world of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Most of these documents have never before been available in English, and they reveal the composer's playful and unabashed sense of humor, private thoughts and daily concerns, and devotion to the Russian monarchy. Often intimate and sometimes bawdy, these diverse materials also offer a fresh perspective on Tchaikovsky's upbringing, his relations with family members, his patriotism, and his homosexuality, collectively contributing to a greater understanding of a major artist who had a profound impact on Russian culture and society. This is an essential compendium of substantial interest to cultural and social historians as well as to musicologists and music lovers"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes In English Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed April 11, 2018) Subject Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilich, 1840-1893 -- Correspondence Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilich, 1840-1893 -- Family Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilich, 1840-1893 -- Friends and associates Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilich, 1840-1893 Composers -- Russia -- Correspondence BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY -- Composers & Musicians.
