From the \u003cem\u003eNutcracker\u003c\/em\u003e--arguably the most popular ballet currently on the boards--\u003cem\u003eSwan Lake\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eSleeping Beauty\u003c\/em\u003e, to \u003cem\u003eEugene Onegin\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePique Dame\u003c\/em\u003e, to the \u003cem\u003eSymphony Pathetique\u003c\/em\u003e and the always rousing, canon-blasting \u003cem\u003e1812 Overture\u003c\/em\u003e--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\u003cbr\u003eiconoclastic 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891596771479,"sku":"9780195368925","price":4823.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195368925.webp?v=1781184224","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tchaikovsky-9780195368925","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
