Tchaikovsky became acquainted with Selma Rahter while on a conducting tour in [[Hamburg]] in January 1888. Here he dined with the Rahters on three occasions, and returned again on 1/13 March where he was entertained by Selma and her four children (her husband being away on business). Following [[Daniel Rahter]]'s death in 1890, the composer wrote to Selma extending his condolences at the loss of her husband, noting with pleasure that their business relationship will continue, and saying that he will see the family again, as he is performing his opera ''[[Yevgeny Onegin]] ''in [[Hamburg]] in the winter.
 
Ownership of her husband's music publishing business passed to Selma, who sold the firm (now relocated to [[Leipzig]]) to Anton J. Benjamin in 1917.
