in him that he tortured his spirit
with incessant striving and super
critical analyses. Quite apart from
the harassed individual who made a
ruin of his own life was the musical
genius who sought above all the

In structure, Tschaikowsky was able
to combine this mechanical knowl-

musical speech in purest melody re-

soul and its reaching toward a spirit

Were another Tschaikowsky to be

is a singer of songs who can spin

great music had its inception in
the outer world or only in the mind;
it must spring from the strength
and depth of the inner man of
fine sensibilities. A lesson can be
learned from Tschaikowsky today.
There is no need to consider what
might be called the weakness of his
character nor his maladjustment
to life, but rather the use to which
he puts these two blemishes. What
ever his daily existence might have
been, he knew himself as a man
with gift for which he must make
an accounting, and never for
moment did he wander from the
path toward that end. All of the
