Praskovya Tchaikovskaya (1864-1956)

Sister-in-law of the composer (b. 1864; d. 1956), born Praskovya Vladimirovna Konshina (Прасковья Владимировна Коншина); known after her marriage as Praskovya Vladimirovna Chaykovskaya (Прасковья Владимировна Чайковская).

Praskovya's father was the industrialist Vladimir Dmitriyevich Konshin (1835-1915), and her mother Yelizaveta (1835–1870) was the sister of the Russian businessman and art collector Pavel Tretyakov (1832–1898); Pavel's daughter Vera was married to the pianist Aleksandr Ziloti (1863–1945), who worked closely with Tchaikovsky in his later years.

In 1882, Praskovya married the composer's brother Anatoly Tchaikovsky (1850–1915), and the couple had one daughter: Tatyana (1883–1970).

Tchaikovsky often stayed with Anatoly and Praskovya at Tiflis during the 1880s, and he corresponded regularly with his sister-in-law.
