Naomi Lang and Peter Tchernyshev Original Dance “Waltz” 1999

“The Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky, not a common piece for ice dancers, but one that Naomi danced to as a ballet student and just adores.”

As part of a recent art project, I drew pictures of a bunch of historical figures rumoured or confirmed to have been gay or bi. The point of the project isn't to use empirical evidence, but I figured people might still be interested in what exactly people have been saying about these different figures, so I put together a little booklet with the info. I didn't add footnotes etc because again, it's not meant to be academic, but I did include some of the sources in the PDF version, which you can download here.

I'm hoping to do more of these, and my history brain is going to force me to be more diligent with the sources next time. I did try to make it explicit when a particular claim is rumoured or speculation on my part.

Thoughts that other people have about bjhm: shipping, headcanons, analysis, general thoughts that a normal person would have

Thoughts that I have about bjhm:

BoJack would read Nietzsche and enjoy it but miss the point completely and paint himself as the ubermensch in every scenario he can

Horsin Around (the show itself) being the only thing keeping BoJack and Herb's relationship going in the 90s has the same energy as Tchaikovsky resenting Kotek a year into their relationship but continuing to write the violin concerto for him

This Victor Hugo quote is so bojackcore

#yes these are all very real thoughts I have had #and I can't share them with anyone because my interests are so niche that Nobody will understand #but if anyone does want me to elaborate on these PLEASE TELL ME I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO PEOPLE #bojack horseman #bojack the horse #herb kazzaz #bjhm #pyotr tchaikovsky #iosif kotek #friedrich nietzsche #victor hugo

OTD in Music History: Composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky watches as his “1812 Overture” receives its world premiere at a historic “all-Tchaikovsky” concert held in 1882. Tchaikovsky hated the “1812 Overture.” He wrote it on commission for an Exhibition of Industry and the Arts that was slated to be held in Moscow, and, as he explained in a letter to his patron and close confidante Countess Nadezhda von Meck (1831 - 1894): "There is nothing less to my liking than composing for the sake of some festival. What, for instance, can you write on the occasion of the opening of an exhibition except banalities and generally noisy passages?” Tchaikovsky worked quickly, finishing the piece in just a few weeks, and he expressed his final judgment in a letter written to another friend shortly before the premiere: “I don't think my Overture has any serious merits, and I shouldn't be at all surprised and offended if you find that it is in a style unsuitable for symphony concerts." Whatever its “serious merits,” the “1812 Overture” has long been one of the most famous and widely-beloved pieces of music ever written – it remains a ubiquitous part of pop culture today, and it is arguably the single most famous work that Tchaikovsky ever composed (in a catalogue that is filled with some *very* stiff competition). PICTURED: A very rare original concert program that was handed out to audience members at yet another historic Tchaikovsky concert, held about a decade later – the very first memorial concert ever put on in his memory, in December 1893, just a few weeks after his sudden death. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844 - 1908) conducted Tchaikovsky’s 4th Symphony, "Francesa da Rimini," and "Marche Slav,” and historically important pianist Felix Blumenfeld (who studied with Rimsky-Korsakov at the St. Petersburg Conservatory) also performed a set of his solo piano works.

Out of all adaptations of the ballet and short story, this has gotta be my favorite version of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.

I hope you like rodents! ^^

Tchaikovsky is known to have hated his own 1812 Overture, claiming that it was just noisy fanfare and had no warmth or artistry, so know that whenever someone on the classical music side of Tumblr makes a “boom boom cannons” joke, you can be sure that Mr. Tchaiks will be spinning in his grave like some sort of wheel rolling so fast it’s on fire.

Susanna Rahkamo and Petri Kokko 1991 Free Dance

“To Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony, this is An Unusual Night at the Ballet.”

“... it’s a comedy spoof not only of the ballet, but maybe of some of their fellow competitors.”

#comedy! you so rarely see it outside exhibs and sibling teams (these two had the same coach as the duchesnays...) #susanna is such a good comedienne and never betrays the difficulty of the choreography. esp those lifts my god. #susanna rahkamo #petri kokko #ice dance #figure skating #pyotr tchaikovsky

“She told him her tragic tale. An evil sorcerer had transformed her and her friends into swans. Every night at midnight, she could take her human form again, but at dawn she always turned back into a swan. The Swan Queen sighed, “Only one thing can release me from this spell—the true love of a man.”

“But then everything will be fine,” said the prince, kneeling before her, “because I love you truly. Only you, and no other.”

“Whatever happens,” said the prince, “I will stay by your side. My love for you is stronger than anything. No danger will chase me away.”
