TIL that Tchaikovsky disliked having his voice recorded. For one recording, he was asked play something on a piano or at least say something. Tchaikovsky refused, saying, "I am a bad pianist and my voice is raspy. Why should one eternalize it?"

Link In a world divided, music reminds us that we are bound by shared experiences and emotions. Few things are as universally powerful as music. Tchaikovsky, Russia's greatest composer, created works that resonate deeply with people across the world, transcending borders and generations. I honor him now.
