In this distinctive new work on Tchaikovsky  David Brown uniquely combines a lively biography of Russias best-loved composer with a chronological guide to his music  ranging from the popular symphonies  concertos  operas and ballets like Swan Lake and The Nutcracker  to some lesser-known pieces. Brown skillfully guides the reader through Tchaikovskys music within the context of his life  and the result is an edifying journey through some of the greatest and most moving music ever composed.As for Tchaikovsky himself  he emerges as a man dogged with bouts of depression but capable of great kindness  devoted to his family  unstinting with his time and money  even on behalf of virtual strangers. It is no wonder that when he died  he was given a state funeral  nor that the massive crowds lining the streets delayed the procession to the cemetery by five hours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651875299381,"sku":"ByrdShop_160598017X","price":208.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781605980171.jpg?v=1781843461","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tchaikovsky-9781605980171","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
