P. I. Tschaikowsky und N. von Meck / Petr I. Cajkovskij und Nadezda F. fon Mekk. Briefwechsel in drei Bänden. Band 2: Briefe 1879-1881

This complete edition, which is the first outside Russia, of the correspondence between P. I. Tschaikovsky and the music-loving patron N. F. von Meck is an indispensable primary source on the composer's life and work as well as on his environment, while at the same time reflecting the political, cultural and social situation of the Russian Empire from the perspective of two privileged, educated and regime-loving subjects.
