Musician's or Publisher's Notes

In the summer of 1878, Tchaikovsky was invited by his benefactress, Nadezhda von Meck, to visit her estate at Brailov in the Ukraine.  In appreciation of Mme. von Meck’s hospitality, Tchaikovsky wrote for her a little set of pieces, which he collectively titled Souvenir d’un lieu cher — “Remembrance of a Dear Place.”  The work is comprised of three short pieces: Méditation, Scherzo, and Mélodie.      Rebecca Benjamin
