About the Author
David Brown was formerly Professor of Musicology at Southampton University.
From Library Journal
This charming "quick-portrait" by a noted Tchaikovsky biographer is a new entry in the series of "remembered" composers from the publisher. Consisting mostly of previously published primary source material, it owes its success to Brown's superior editing and his uncanny gift for fleshing out a portrait with pertinent selections. He removes clouds of romantic myth, revealing Tchaikovsky to be an affable, well-mannered, social human being, very unlike the moody genius of popular imagination. Aspects of the composer's life that caused him great pain, like his closeted homosexuality, are treated openly, making it clear how the glare of international scrutiny might have earned a man of his gentle disposition a reputation for neurotic eccentricity. Conflicting accounts of his demise are also presented, including the controversial and troubling possibility of "involuntary" suicide. This is an excellent job worthy of both general and specialized collections.
