<p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{picture|file=Anton Chekhov.jpg|caption='''Anton Chekhov''' (1860-1904)<br/>His inscribed photograph to Tchaikovsky}}<br />
Prominent Russian writer and dramatist (b. 17/29 January 1860 in [[Taganrog]]; d. 15 July 1904 at Badenweiler, Germany), born '''''Anton Pavlovich Chekhov''' (Антон Павлович Чехов).<br />
<br />
The son of Pavel Yevgenyevich Chekhov, a shopkeeper and choirmaster, Anton moved with his family from [[Taganrog]] to [[Moscow]] in 1876. His early education was sporadic, but in 1879 he enrolled in the medical school at [[Moscow]] University, qualifying as a physician five years later. His writing interests progressed from writing articles for periodicals and newspapers, to publishing short stories, novels, and plays, of which ''The Seagull'' (1896), ''Three Sisters'' (1901), and ''The Cherry Orchard'' (1904) are among the best known.<br />
<br />
==Tchaikovsky and Chekhov==<br />
Tchaikovsky was introduced to Chekhov's work in April 1887, when together with [[Nikolay Kashkin]] he read the story ''Laymen'' [Миряне], and he was so impressed by the writer's talent that he sent a letter to the editor of ''New Time'' [Новое время], the newspaper in which Chekhov's story had appeared (this letter did not reach Chekhov and has unfortunately not been preserved). He became personally acquainted with the writer during the autumn of 1887, at [[Modest Tchaikovsky]]'s home in [[Saint Petersburg]], and the following year they met again in [[Moscow]]. On 9/21 January 1889, Tchaikovsky wrote to [[Yuliya Shpazhinskaya]] from [[Frolovskoye]]: "Have you ever read ''Chekhov''? This young man, in my view, is likely to become a major force in literature. Would you like me to send you a volume of his short stories (he doesn't write large works!)" And on 2/14 June of that year he again wrote to [[Shpazhinskaya]]: "Are you at all familiar with the new great Russian literary talent — ''Chekhov''? If not, I will gladly send you his stories. In my view, he is a future pillar of our literature"<br />
<br />
Tchaikovsky visited Chekhov in [[Moscow]] on 14/26 October 1889 to thank the writer personally for dedicating to him his new collection of stories'' Gloomy People'' [Хмурые люди], which was soon to be published. Two days later, Tchaikovsky wrote to [[Modest]] about this dedication: "I am awfully proud and happy!" At their meeting they had also discussed collaborating on an opera based on [[Lermontov]]'s ''[[Béla]]'', with Chekhov providing the libretto, but the two men's travels meant that these plans were never realised. On 16/28 March 1890, Chekhov wrote to [[Modest Tchaikovsky]]: "In a week or two my book dedicated to Pyotr Ilyich will be published. I am ready to stand day and night as a guard of honour in front of the house where Pyotr Ilyich is living — such is my respect for him. If we are to speak about ranks, then in Russian art he currently occupies second place after [[Lev Tolstoy]], who has long since been on the top rung of the ladder. The third place I would give to [the painter Ilya] Repin, and for myself I would kindly ask for the 98th.

I will write to him as soon as things get back to normal again" It seems that Tchaikovsky did not actually write such a letter. He did, however, continue to read Chekhov with great interest. Thus, on 1/13 January 1891 he wrote to his brother [[Modest]]: "What a delightful little thing by Chekhov there is in the Christmas issue of ''New Time''!". The story in question was ''Gusev'' (Гусев).<br />
<br />
Chekhov's admiration for Tchaikovsky's music was certainly genuine, and it is a very revealing detail that one of the non-verbal communication devices so beloved by the playwright used in ''The Three Sisters'' is Prince Gremin's aria from ''[[Yevgeny Onegin]]'': "All ages are obedient to love" [«Любви все возрасты покорны»], which in Act III of the play Vershinin suddenly starts humming in front of Masha after one of his long monologues, and this beautiful music does more than anything else to bring them together. We also know from the memoirs of Ignaty Potapenko (1856–1929) about life on Melikhovo, the small country estate Chekhov was finally able to buy for his family in 1892, that the writer often asked Potapenko to sing romances by Tchaikovsky, with the musically gifted Lidiya ('Lika') Mizinova accompanying at the piano: "Anton Pavlovich usually asked for those things which he particularly liked. Tchaikovsky was very much in his good books, and his romances were constantly part of our repertoire".<br />
