“Tchaikovsky and Women in Art” Please respond to one of the following, using sources under the Explore headingas the basis of your response:

• Select one composition by Tchaikovsky that you enjoy. Describe the music and subject matter of that work, and explain why you enjoy it. Explain the key reasons why you believe that compositions by Tchaikovsky continue to be popular with contemporary orchestras and audiences.
