Tschaikovsky vs. Tchaikovsky
"How should the name of the composer of the music for “Serenade” be spelled? Most Westerners now spell it Tchaikovsky, but City Ballet took up, during Balanchine’s lifetime, the spelling Tschaikovsky. Why? Because that’s how the composer spelled it when he was in New York in 1891. (My thanks to the reader who sent me a copy of his Carnegie Hall autograph from the Pierpont Morgan Library.)"

obscure sexuality
It says here that M. Tchaikovsky lived with his boyfriend for 17 years from 1876. However, his boyfriend seems to have been borne in 1868. If both dates are correct then M. Tchaikovsky was not a homosexual but a pedophile. AdamChapman (talk) 11:44, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
