    I doubt he died of suicide. The man grew up poor and his dreams were finally being fulfilled! He does mention how being alive is such a motivation for him to keep accomplishing more things. He was 53 when he became famous and yes, at that age, people were prone to sickness in Europe.

    My music literature teacher told us about his death and I clearly remember, that he wanted water at a restaurant after presenting his new concert and the waiter said, that they didn't have clean water and he was mad about it plus excited after the premiere so he said:"Then give me the bad water! I don't care.". So the waiter did. And...

      Mr. T was passionate and no doubt could be irascible and impulsive, but honestly, what kind of stupid do you think he was? Moreover, his brother Modeste, if he were there, would not have permitted it. And again, the waiter/attendant would not have dared to be an accessory and face legal entanglement by serving unboiled water.
      There are a plethora or theories, and it's unlikely we will ever know the truth of every part of the event.

      @@samsen3965 I think Swan Lake is Tchaikovsky's best work. I also think that he wrote the story on his own - and about himself, his emotions. It is such a pity that it was not successful enough (op. 20), so he returned to ballet so late (op. 66 and op. 72). All his three ballets are masterpieces - he would have probably composed more but then he died - what a loss-....

    so in terms of like artistic/academic merit or whatever, how is Tchaikovsky received or viewed? Because it seems like (I didn't go to college for music anything) Bach, Mozart, Liszt, Beethoven, are all taught for their compositions but I rarely hear Tchaikovsky being taught . Maybe I just haven't branched out enough?

    Despite Tchaikovsky’s homosexuality, he seemed to have been a more religious person, as his musical influence over the Russian Orthodox Church is still felt to this day, while he had some questions over Church Tradition and the Bible, in his letters he openly loved going to Divine Liturgy and Vespers. I mention this because Orthodox Christianity is strongly against suicide. So I don’t see himself committing suicide
