Did you know... that Jerome Robbins choreographed the ballet Andantino to music by Tchaikovsky, despite his lack of interest, because "you don't necessarily have to enjoy doing something for it to be good"?

Tschaikovsky vs. Tchaikovsky

How should the name of the composer of the music for “Serenade” be spelled? Most Westerners now spell it Tchaikovsky, but City Ballet took up, during Balanchine’s lifetime, the spelling Tschaikovsky. Why? Because that’s how the composer spelled it when he was in New York in 1891. (My thanks to the reader who sent me a copy of his Carnegie Hall autograph from the Pierpont Morgan Library.)
