    So sad. He deserved a happy life with a loved partner. His music tells us of his love. So sad. Grieg said he was the saddest person he had ever met, His music tells us of his life and thoughts. Vale Пётр Илич Чайковский.

    If Tchaikovsky committed suicide by drinking unboiled water in a cholera epidemic, as the story goes, we have two problems...
    (i) Modest, Tchaikovsky's brother and first biographer, said it happened in Modest's apartment at lunchtime. If Tchaikovsky did drink a glass of unboiled water "from a pitcher on the table", as Modest suggests, what was a pitcher of unboiled water doing on the dining table.
    (i) Tchaikovsky's nephew and second biographer said that it happened the night before at a restaurant called Leiner's. Tchaikovsky is supposed to have burst in and demanded water. Having been told there was no boiled water in the premises, he shouted for some anyway, yelling, "And make it cold!" But why would a restaurant run out of boiled water and we know the brand of mineral water which Tchaikovsky preferred and always drank. So Leiner's had run out of mineral water and tap water? But the composer Glazunov confirms this by saying, "I know. I was there!"
    I believe Tchaikovsky killed himself by arsenic and the family and the doctors covered it up. The doctors who were there were the Tzar's doctors too, the Bertenson brothers. But Lev Bertenson and Modest even differ in the day he died!
    I can't prove this and we may never know but listen to the Sixth Symphony - there might be a clue in that.
    All good wishes.

      Yes it was arsenic. They left coffin open and allowed corpse to be kissed. Rismkey korsakov kissed the body. unheard of for cholera. Unless..... composer died a different way and the doctors knew it. No need to close coffin if death was arsenic. Cover up.ineither case an immense tragedy of a genius. How many more masterpieces would he left us but for homophobic Russia? Who has final documents that would tell more? Kremlin of course.

      Can you imagine covered up his own brothers death?! Who could live with themselves. Unless Modest and the composers family were ordered to keep quiet.

    He would have been happier if there was no homophobia at the time and place he lived

    Truth is always boring compared to supposed conspiracy theories.

      Well I'm completely with you Randy but not here.
      Tchaikovsky had what we call today "suicidal behavior". There's a RUclipsr that has this same behavior called JAYLOVE47
      He even threatened people with ending his own life in a few letters.
