TCHAIKOVSKY, Peter IlychHe learnt the piano at an early but he studied law and became a clerk in the Ministry of Justice. Eventually he entered the new St Petersburg Conservatory and decided to devote his life to music. He became a teacher of harmony at the Moscow Conservatory and spent more and more time on composition. His fellow composer Mili Balakirev (1837-1910) helped and advised him with his early works. He suffered from depression partially because some of his works did not find immediate success and partially because of his guilt about his homosexuality. After a disastrous marriage and an attempt to commit suicide, he moved to Switzerland where he was aided both psychologically and financially by a lady patron. During this period he will produce some of his finest works. He died of cholera or committed suicide. "Tchaikovsky's music was frankly sentimental; his supreme gift of melody, which none of his Russian contemporaries could match, secured for him a lasting popularity among performers and audiences."
