Donald Macleod explores Tchaikovsky’s life away from home. He
spent significant parts of his peak years travelling or staying
with friends, and a remarkable amount of his music was composed
whilst staying with friends, on holiday or concert tours, or
sometimes as a fugitive on the run. This evolved into a full
decade of rootless wandering, which is peculiar given his
frequent homesickness for Russia.
