He wore his heart on his sleeve. Tchaikovsky’s life was filled with inner turmoil, and this whirlwind of emotions is captured perfectly in his Fourth Symphony. Impassioned and red-blooded, sentimental and wryly humorous, Tchaikovsky's music perfectly expresses the raw emotions that life brings us — and the sense of exhilarating triumph that can drive us forward.
