Sister of Tchaikovsky's schoolfriend [[Fyodor Maslov]] (b. 1839; d. 1905), born '''''Varvara Ivanovna Maslova''''' (Варвара Ивановна Маслова).
 
Varvara was the eldest of the five Maslov siblings. She read a lot and was proficient in German, English, and French. She was very keen on painting as well, and in her spare time she would decorate ceramics and do poker-work. At the age of 42, she decided to enrol in the [[ Moscow]] School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, where she studied under [[Vladimir Makovsky]] and was in the same class as [[Lev Tolstoy]]'s daughter, Tatyana, who, despite being twenty-five years younger, became a close friend.
 
During the summer months from 1880 to 1885 Varvara helped the composer [[Sergey Taneyev]], a regular guest at the Maslovs' estate Selishche, in Oryol province, to translate Ludwig Bussler's famous textbook on counterpoint from German into Russian.
 
==Dedications==
