Alexander Poznansky here provides a detailed account of the circumstances leading up to Tchaikovsky's death from cholera. On the basis of documentary evidence, much of it hitherto unknown, Poznansky traces day by day the development of Tchaikovsky's illness and concludes that there is no evidence for the popular theory that the composer committed suicide in order to avoid a homosexual scandal.
