for Tchaikovsky Discovers America by Esther Kalman, Rick Jacobson, and Laura Fernandez
From the Publisher
Tchaikovsky kept a detailed diary of his trip to America and these observations are woven into the fictional diary of shy and awkward eleven-year old Jenny Petroff, who meets the composer during his stay in America. In the tormented Tchaikovsky, Jenny finds a kindred spirit who loves music and ballet as much as she does. Their brief encounter leaves Jenny with treasured memories of a man who gave the world some of the best music ever written.
