Summary of Tchaikovsky (Naxos Books)
Sourcebooks MediaFusion and Naxos proudly present this fascinating biography of composer Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Acclaimed music writer Jeremy Siepmann follows Tchaikovsky?s development as man and composer, and sets out the experiences-the personal joys and sorrows as well as the broader cultural forces-that formed him and made him one of the most widely loved composers in classical music.Tchaikovsky was a man of neurotic diffidence, his self-doubt increased by his homosexuality. His music is thoroughly Russian in character, but he embraced Western and international elements and opened his works to a wider audience.
Included are two CDs of carefully chosen Tchaikovsky pieces. Readers also gain access to an exclusive website that offers new essays, the musical works in full and more. This revolutionary biography utilizes traditional and new media to provide a uniquely rounded portrait of the composer and his music.
