Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky / Symphony No. 1, "Winter Daydreams"
I loved this essay the first time round, now I love it even more. Thanks, Michael!
That means so much, Portia! Thank you for being here since the earliest days of Shades! 💙
Another beautifully-researched piece, and I loved the symphony, as well as the illustrations. Lovely to hear about your time in the youth orchestra.
P.S I must buy a hat and coat like Tchaikovsky's. Still freezing here. 🥶💙
Thanks, Jules! It’s wild to be at a point in life where favorite works have been with me for three decades or longer.
And agreed — Tchaikovsky’s outerwear game is on point! 💙
Tchaikovsky warms my heart. Thank you, Michael!
My pleasure, Anne! His music never fails to comfort and console me. 💙
This whisked me back to my bread and jam kick inspired by my first read/listen! So nostalgic! What a perfect revisit for these frigid days we’ve endured this winter, thanks Michael!
I'm so glad, Katie! Stay warm over the border, neighbor. 💙
Thank you, you too! Hunkering down for the big maybe-blizzard tomorrow!
