Tchaikovsky Experienced Self-Doubt Despite Extensive Library
Composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky experienced self-doubt and reacted painfully to criticism, though he possessed a library of 1239 books. He once responded to a conductor's remark about similar intonations in his operas 'Mazeppa,' 'The Queen of Spades,' and 'Eugene Onegin' by stating they were his operas.
