What do Tchaikovsky and Skovoroda have in common? Is Tchaikovsky really one of the descendants of the Cossack family of Chayok? How are the life and creative routes of the genius of world musical culture connected with Ukraine? How many immortal masterpieces did Tchaikovsky write on Ukrainian soil? For almost three decades, the composer visited picturesque Ukrainian cities and towns every year, and these visits remained on the pages of his letters as bright memories, and in the history of culture as masterpieces, because the beauty of the Ukrainian land deeply resonated in the composer's soul, turning into the musical pages of "Swan Lake", "Children's Album", "Mazepa" and other "hits".
Leading Ukrainian musicologists - professors of higher musical educational institutions invite the reader on a fascinating journey to the infinitely beautiful world of fateful intersections of Tchaikovsky and Ukraine. This book is not an academic reference book, although it is based on documentary sources, unique archival materials of funds and libraries, and covers a wide range of specialized literature. Eleven vivid studies of Tchaikovsky’s “Ukrainian dimensions” largely overturn the idea of the influence of our national mental codes on world musical culture, reveal the peculiarities of the development of professional musical education and performing skills in Ukraine.
The visual concept of the book, its emotional tone, recreate in a modern way the “enchanted era” of P. Jurgenson’s publishing house — his title pages of Tchaikovsky’s scores became one of the leitmotifs of the publication. Numerous photographs from the second half of the 19th century, autograph manuscripts, lithographs, and paintings illustrate an indispensable component of the Ukrainian map of Tchaikovsky’s life and work.
