In addition to the basic bibliographical data, thecatalog of works gives information on the circumstances surrounding theircomposition and their earliest performances, arrangements for other instruments, locations of manuscripts (and any peculiarities that they exhibit), publicationhistory, and any related works (for example, other works in which Tchaikovsky usedthe same melodic material). A tremendous bibliographical undertaking, the Handbookraises the bar for Tchaikovsky scholarship. Volume 1 includes achronology of the composer's life; a catalog of all the compositions, writings, interviews, and photographs; a translation of his brief 1889 autobiography; andlistings of the works by opus number, in chronological order, and by titles andvariant titles. A general index completes the volume.
