“I sit down at my desk at 9 a.m. and the muse has learned to be on time.” — Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Tchaikovsky is always shown in white tie at a premier or some other society event, surrounded by European nobility and czarist Russia. Here he relaxes, maybe on the Caspian, and maybe in his bathrobe, in the colors of the Holiday he articulated for us so well. He died from drinking a tainted glass of water, some say deliberately because of his sexual orientation in an intolerant society.
