Tchaikovsky. The Story of a Lonely Life
19.99 €
Nina Berberova, one of the most famous writers and memoirists of the first wave of emigration, wrote a fiction biography of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in the 1930s. She does not gloss over the composer's secret life, but maintains tact and fidelity to the facts. Berberova creates a portrait of a living person, a portrait without a mask. An eternal stranger, she talks about the Russian composer as if she had never left Russia... "When I was printing my biography of Tchaikovsky as feuilletons in the "Last News", Alexander Nikolaevich Benois invariably told me that he felt I was his contemporary, "as if you knew everyone - and Bob, and Modest, and Argo (Argutinsky)", and suddenly, one day, carried away, he suddenly exclaimed: - "Do you remember, at the premiere of The Queen of Spades..." - and suddenly he was terribly embarrassed, frowned and sang in a thin voice, "Evening, clouds..." (the premiere was nine years before I was born)." (Nina Berebrova. "Italics mine")
