- 26 min
Tchaikovsky was a hopeless romantic who lived a tragic and relatively short life. He was a sad man who wrote beautiful and memorable melodies for symphony, ballet and opera. We expose the tormented personal life of this beloved composer and examine how someone who was so emotionally distraught could compose such beautiful music. His most popular ballet, the Nutcracker, and his symphonies, the 4th and 6th (his last), are featured.
