Tchaikovsky spent just over a week at a summer dacha in Mikhaylovskoye with his brother Anatoly and his family, from 9/21 September to 17/29 September 1893. "What a delight Mikhaylovskoye is!!! It's impossible to describe how good it is here ... I had never expected to end up in some sort of paradise!", the composer wrote .
