Since the discussion of music has continued, I will, too.
Tchaikovsky didn't claim any particular Russian-ness in his music.
Well, he did try to make it representative. I have read his diary several times, and he was often concerned with expressing the feeling of his culture in just the right way.
That rich, tenebrous, upsurging and swelling of unbearable longing, never, oh, never to be satiated by the final and lasting attainment of happiness...just eased for
brief moments here and there. Ahhh...
I really wonder what his compositions might have been like had he lived in the time of the Revolution.
