Star Russian composer (1840-1893) of the late romantic period, today one of the most popular composers in the classical music world.
Remarkable autograph letter to his friend, famous conductor and fellow composer Eduard Napravnik (1839-1916) that he is unable to attend rehearsals of his opera Mazeppa in St. Petersburg, since he has to stay in Moscow for the rehearsals of the same opera in that city. Tchaikovsky composed "Mazeppa" between 1881 and 1883, with the final premiere in Moscow on Feb 3rd, 1884 and in St. Petersburg on Feb 6th, 1884 (all dates in the Old Style calendar) under Napravnik´s baton. This letter is from January 22nd, 1884, less than 2 weeks before the world premiere.
