There are other possible scenarios of the untimely death of this healthy man in his early fifties.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 19th century Russia, being gay was perilous. The punishment was severe; knowing someone was gay and not reporting it warranted tortuous sentences if not death. Tchaikovsky was gay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis account of foreboding doom reveals a secret between Tchaikovsky and his lover, Ivan, encoded in sheet music.
