Question:     What is the correct spelling of Tchaikovsky? How do you find everything about him in TRIPOD? 

The Library of Congress has over 53 alternate spellings! For example:

Ciaikovsky, Piotr Ilic
Tschaikowsky, Peter Iljitch
Tchaikowsky, Peter Iljitch
Ciaikovsky, Pjotr Iljc
Cajkovskij, Petr Il’ic
Tsjaikovsky, Peter Iljitsj

Answer:        Type your preferred spelling, last name only, into the AUTHOR search box in order to find the authority record. The authority record  (a link to all the variations) can be found under DETAILS in the Subject Line [see below].

Try this with Anton Chekhov or Tchekhov, etc. Chekhov has even more variant spellings!
