About this book
"This very distinctive new work on Tchaikovsky uniquely combines a lively biography of Russia's best-loved composer with a chronological guide to his music, ranging from the popular symphonies, concertos, operas and ballets, to some lesser-known pieces. Professor Brown guides the reader through Tchaikovsky's music within the context of his life, and the result is a book which will be perhaps of particular interest to those who, knowing little or nothing of classical music, might wish to become acquainted with some of the greatest and most moving music ever composed."--BOOK JACKET.
