Tchaikovsky: Unresting Fate

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky became the most famous and performed Russian composer in the world during his lifetime. Realizing his calling and gift early on, he steadily pursued his goal – music, in which he was completely open and confessional. His... life was filled with joys, tragedies, passions, and disappointments; he was in constant search of answers to the "fatal questions of existence" about life and death, sin and forgiveness. Tchaikovsky's fate was an endless struggle, a confrontation, and sometimes a submission to the "unresting fate" that haunted him, which is felt in one form or another in almost all of the composer's works.
The book is based on authentic 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 was carried out by several generations of scholars.
