Major Audie Murphy, Love his 1812. Especially when they use cannons instead of drums.
Player Elf Council
brownidol, Yes. And the 1812 Overture. and other ballets.

A nutcracker indeed

Alright, who guessed inventor?
Daedalus
His music is transcendental and sublime. I didn't know of his personal troubles and unhappiness. Truly unfortunate.

HIS SWAN LAKE IS LOVELY, AND THE 1812. OVERTURE. THIS MAN WAS A GENIUS. TOO BAD HE WENT THROUGH SO MUCH.

They probably meant fine artist/painter
Milo
A composer then is not an artist. Can then somebody give a definition of an artist?

Tchaikovsky's homosexuality was denied by Soviet musicologists until fairly recently, and much material still remains to be retrieved from Russian archives. His lovers included Alexey Apukhtin in his music student days 1867-70; Vladimir a wealthy young lad and his nephew, "Bob." To name a few. He married a woman for "show." His brother was openly gay.

In the beginning.... No one knew what they was gonna do but Tchaikovsky had the news -AC/DC

I used to have a Miniature Dachshund and when the cannons boomed he would run in circles and bark.

I wish I was related to that talented man. music critics can be very hard on brilliant musicians.he is one of my fave classical composers. Swan lake is a beautiful ballet and the nutcracker. since I come from a Russian Ukrainian family who knows.

Just a sidenote, should the question not be 'what was Pyotr Tsaikovski'?
