==Correspondence with Tchaikovsky==
==Tchaikovsky's Settings of Works by Hartmann==
One letter from Tchaikovsky to Paul Collin has survived, dating from 1892, which has been translated into English on this website:
Hartmann's poem ''Schweigen'', translated into Russian in 1861 by [[Aleksey Pleshcheyev]] (1825–1893) as ''Silence'' (Молчание), was set by Tchaikovsky as ''Not a Word, O My Friend'' (Ни слова, о друг мой), No. 2 of the [[Six Romances, Op. 6]] (1869).
* '''[[Letter 4810]]''' – 24 November/6 December 1892, from [[Saint Petersburg]]
 
One letter from Collin to the composer, dating from 1893, is preserved in the {{RUS-KLč}} at [[Klin]].
 
==Tchaikovsky's Settings of Works by Collin==
When composing his [[Six French Songs, Op. 65]] in 1888, Tchaikovsky set three poems from Collin's cycle ''Melodies'', published in 1878: ''Déception'' (No. 2 in the set of songs), ''Sérénade'' (No. 3) and ''Rondel'' (No. 6). The text of ''Qu'importe que l'hiver'' (No. 4) comes from the untitled fourth poem in Collin's cycle ''Poème d'Octobre'', also published in 1878.
 
The composer's sketches show that he also considered, but ultimately rejected, six other poems by Collin – ''Prière'', ''Rondel à Madame I. Triery'', ''Rondel d'automne'', ''À la mémoire de Madame Marie ***'', ''Lamento'', and ''Mai''. Short musical sketches exist for the two last poems.
