| Visiting with the pianist [[Vasily Sapelnikov]], it was during this visit that Tchaikovsky arranged [[Sophie Menter|Menter]]'s ''[[Ungarische Zigeunerweisen (Menter)|Ungarische Zigeunerweisen]]'' for piano with orchestra (completed on 20 September/2 October).

| Stopping on his return home to Russia after receiving an honorary doctorate at [[Cambridge]] University. Afterwards he wrote to his brother: "Strangely enough the beauties of the Tyrol among which I lived at [[Sophie Menter|Menter]]'s did not afford me even half the pleasure I felt at the sight of the endless steppe through which I rode here yesterday from the railway station. No, decidedly the Russian countryside is infinitely dearer to my heart than all the much-vaunted beauties of Europe" <ref name="note1"/>.
