Doubting himself at every turn, he was keenly wounded by criticism. The death of his mother haunted him all his life and his incessant attempts to suppress his homosexuality took a huge toll.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom Tchaikovsky’s disastrous marriage to his extraordinary relationship with his female patron, his many amorous liaisons, and his devotion to friends and family, Suchet shows us how the complexity of Tchaikovsky’s emotional life plays out in his music. A man who was by turns quick to laugh and to despair, his mercurial temperament found its outlet in some of the most emotionally intense music ever written.","brand":"Pegasus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48797911318783,"sku":"9781643131337","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781643131337-us-300.jpg?v=1783362489","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781643131337","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
