Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Restless Fate

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky became the most famous and performed Russian composer in the world even during his lifetime. Realizing his calling and talent early on, he steadfastly pursued his goal – music, in which he was completely candid and expressive.... His life was filled with joys, tragedies, passions, and disappointments; he was in a constant search for answers to the "fateful questions of existence" about life and death, sin and forgiveness. Tchaikovsky's fate is an endless struggle, a confrontation, and sometimes humility before the "restless fate" that pursued him, which is felt in one form or another in almost all of the composer's works.
The book is based on genuine materials and documents and is also a continuation of years of research into the life and creative legacy of the composer, which began immediately after his death and has been conducted by several generations of scholars.'
