Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Tchaikovsky is a 1970 film from the Soviet Union, directed by Igor Talankin.It is a biopic of—well, no prizes for guessing. After Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) is seen briefly as a child, the film skips forward to the 1860s and the composition of his first symphony. He forms a friendship with pianist/composer Nikolai Rubinstein, who criticizes some aspects of Tchaikovsky's work but later becomes his foremost advocate. Tchaikovsky becomes the foremost composer of his day despite unending hostility from contemporary Russian music critics. He marries, but the marriage is a disaster and ends almost instantly. Far more significant is his 13-year relationship with his admirer and patron, rich widow Nadezhda von Meck, who financially supports him as he climbs to the top of the music business—but never meets him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

As You Know | |
| Tchaikovsky / int_9843be73 | comment |
As You Know: Some dialogue from Rubinstein to Pyotr in their first scene establishes that Pyotr has composed two operas and ten love songs, and that none have made much of an impression. | |

| Tchaikovsky / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: Tchaikovsky's sexuality, which in Real Life appears to have caused him quite a bit of angst, is only obliquely dealt with in this film made under Soviet censorship. He seems oddly reluctant to marry his wife, who may be loud and brash but who is also quite attractive and seems like a lot of fun. And there are hints of an attraction to Rubinstein, most notably the Pietà Plagiarism scene when Rubinstein is cradling Pyotr after the latter faints following a failed suicide attempt. On the other hand, he's apparently in love with a soprano singer, Desiree Artôt (in Real Life they were briefly engaged). | |
