Thanks, Marina. I appreciate recasting any historical figure in a non-reductive way, so I was immediately engaged. I love this defense of popularity and beauty. I feel I have language now to describe how "sentimental" works can be masterful with colors, layers, as you recorded here, how the unexpected can transform traditional structures while using them unabashedly. I am now an even bigger Tchaikovsky fan, and will read the book (as well as his Prokofiev if I can!). "He had a love for regular people." Stole my heart. I will return to this post to watch the videos in full. Many thanks.

Simon's book on Lina Prokofiev is especially affecting. An unbelievable story
