A unique spiritual memoir and unprecedented form of autobiography, "Being Pyotr Ilyich" offers Tchaikovsky’s life in his own voice — revealing the inner truth of one of history’s greatest composers. Born from a profound past life regression and narrated by the reincarnated soul who once lived as the great artist, the book opens not only the intimate world of a remarkably sensitive creative spirit, but also a deeper reflection on the great questions of human existence: the meaning of life and suffering, destiny, karma, free will, and the purpose of the soul’s journey.

Inside Tchaikovsky’s emotional world

Structured in 20 chapters, the narrative retraces the essential stages of his earthly life: childhood, musical awakening, emotional wounds, Conservatory years, the creation of his masterpieces, and the defining experiences that shaped him most deeply. At the heart of the memoir lies his deepest conflict: a feminine soul living in a masculine body, a source of lifelong pain portrayed with honesty and metaphysical clarity. His marriage, dramatic love stories, and bond with his patroness Nadezhda von Meck are also revealed with emotional transparency.

The mystery of Tchaikovsky’s final days

The book approaches one of music history’s great mysteries — the question of whether Tchaikovsky died by suicide or cholera — offering a spiritual perspective on the family secrets, inner suffering, and soul lessons behind his final days. It also reveals, with exceptional emotional depth and tenderness, the full story of the great love of his life.

The creative laboratory behind the music

Readers are invited into the composer’s inner creative world and offered a rare, deeply personal perspective on what he lived and felt while bringing his music into being. Far from a traditional classical-music biography, the book offers intimate insight into the spiritual origin of works such as Romeo and Juliet, The Nutcracker, Piano Concerto No. 1, and Symphony No. 6 – Pathétique, opening the door to his “creative laboratory,” where the artistic process becomes a channel for divine inspiration.

A life story that becomes a study of the human soul

Beyond Tchaikovsky’s personal story, the book explores spiritual questions that speak to every reader: the inner child, fear of abandonment, karma, soul contracts, free will, destiny, emotional trauma, healing, self-love, and the evolving relationship between the soul and Divinity. It reflects on life between lives, the preparation preceding incarnation, and the ways suffering and love shape human transformation.

The foreword is written by Daniel Meurois, international bestselling author.

A deeply revealing and transformative memoir — for readers drawn to Tchaikovsky, classical music, spirituality, reincarnation, metaphysics, and soul healing.

“Ten pages, twenty pages, thirty pages... My eyes moving by themselves. I couldn’t stop, surprised by the emotion and the obvious sincerity of their author, whose writing talent was itself overtaken by ‘something else’, something impalpable and magnificently profound.”
