'''''Warsaw''''' (Warszawa) is the capital city of Poland, and of its Masovia province (Województwo mazowieckie).<br />
<br />
During Tchaikovsky's lifetime the city was part of the Russian Empire, and the administrative centre of Warsaw district (Варшавский уезд) and Warsaw province (Варшавская губерния).<br />

| Staying at the ''Hôtel Europe'', he visited the city in order to rehearse and conduct a symphony concert of his own works (2/14 January), including the [[Suite No. 3]], the ''Elegie'' and ''Valse'' from the [[Serenade for String Orchestra]], the [[Violin Concerto]] and ''[[Sérénade mélancolique]]'' (soloist [[Stanisław Barcewicz]]), Joan's Aria from the opera ''[[The Maid of Orleans]]'', and various romances (soloist Nina Fride). "I was warmly received by the musicians and the public. The concert went brilliantly" <ref name="note1"/>. During this stay, on 1/13 January 1892, Tchaikovsky also heard [[Pietro Mascagni|Mascagni]]'s ''Cavalleria rusticana'' for the first time, and was very impressed by it: "This opera is indeed very remarkable and especially so thanks to the amazingly felicitous choice of subject. I wish [[Modest Tchaikovsky|Modya]] would be able to find me a subject of this kind" <ref name="note2"/>.<br />
