Zustand: Gut. Profusely Illustrated (illustrator). 287 Seiten, Abb. Umschlag mit leichter Randläsur, innen gut und sauber / Cover with slight edgewear, inside good and clean - Tchaikovskys compositions, among them some of the best-loved music of the nineteenth century, are here described in the context of his unhappy and restless life. Lonely, touchy, emotionally frail, tormented by his homosexuality, Tchaikovsky never got over his mothers death when he was fifteen, was almost destroyed by a disastrous marriage from which he fled after a fortnight, and had one of his few satisfying relationships with a woman whom he never met and who after years of correspondence broke oif contact with dismaying abruptness. Nevertheless his astonishing gifts and his devotion to his art made him famous both in Russia and abroad - he travelled frequently in Western Europe and once visited America - though it was often his slighter pieces that were the most admired. -- John Warrack tells the story of Tchaikovskys life and work against the background of the Russia that was, in spite of political repression and inner artistic conflict, then producing its greatest literary and musical achievements. He uses letters and other material, some of it hitherto unpublished in English, to give a fascinating account of Tchaikovskys career and professional relationships, of his methods of work, and of the process of creative growth by which he eventually came to write his finest large-scale works when he allowed their form to be shaped by the tragedy of his emotional life. He gives full accounts of this generative process in the last three symphonies with their crowning masterpiece the Pathétique, in the ballets Sivan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker, and in each of the operas, the lesser known works as well as Eugene Onegin and The Queen of Spades. All these dramatic works are given synopses and descriptions. At the end one is convinced that Tchaikovskys premature death, from cholera, deprived the world of even finer music that might have lain ahead.
