Synopsis

The present volume, translated from the monumental Russian biography by the composer's brother, is the result of a careful selection of material. The leading idea which the editor has kept in view has been to preserve as far as possible the autobiographical character of the book, preferring to let Tchaikovsky himself tell the story of his life. This title is cited and recommended by Books for College Libraries. The editor and translator, Rosa Newmarch, was a well-known of English music writer and annotator, and a President of the Royal College of Music. She is also the author of Tchaikovksy: His Life and Works.

In 1900 I published a volume dealing with Tchaikovsky, which was, I believe, the first attempt to embody in book form all the literature scattered through the byways of Russian journalism concerning the composer of the Pathetic Symphony. In the course of a year or two the book having sold out in England and America a proposal was made to me to prepare a new edition. Meanwhile, however, the authorised Life and Letters compiled and edited by the composers brother, Modeste I lich Tchaikovsky, was being issued in twenty-five parts by P. I. Jurgenson, of Moscow.
