I must say I do not particularly like the idea of suppression of the music of Tschaikovsky (or however you anglicise the name). Perhaps it is because of my musical naivety but I still experience profound enjoyment from any of the Tschaikovsky symphonies, the operas (I especially like Pique Dame although the performances of it I have seen have been rather wooden), the ballet suites and Serenade fur Streicher. If I can listen to the Beethoven 7th symphony for the thousandth time and still be moved by it why can the same thing not be allowable with the pathetique symphony? Are we Tschaikovsky-lovers going to be driven underground and our pleasure become a secret vice such as the old medical textbooks used to warn about? If you are going to pick on any musical work to suppress, could it not be Elgar's Enigma variations? On the local classical channels I estimate it has been played a million times; sometimes in consecutive weeks. Leon Le Leu Wagga
