The real question should be is Putin gay?
He’s always getting photographed half dressed.
Usually in photos insuring he looks manley instead of like a 12 year old little girl like obammy.
The intense musical "sobbing" is almost unbearable and was attributed to his unhappiness with his homosexuality.
T's 6th was contrasted with Beethoven's Fifth as the "Birth of Romanticism" for its positive, triumphant musical conclusion.
Tchaikovsky was without a doubt one of the greatest composers - on par with Brahms and Verdi. Personally, while I find much of his music beautiful, there is a hysterical element to it that fairly screams “I’m a closet gay composer.” Even in those passages that are his most muscular there’s a flouncy feminine aspect that shines through. Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner...their music, even in the most tender of passages, seems to echo the voice of a men who like women.
That’s funny because Wagner was accused of being overly feminine...as was Mozart.
Tchaikovsky was gay, and it does not go with current Putin’s national meme to have Tchaikovsky gay... Houston we have a problem.
