Niece of the composer (b. 6/18 September 1861 in [[Kamenka]]; d. 19/31 January 1887 in [[Saint Petersburg]]), born '''''Tatyana Lvovna Davydova''''' (Татьяна Львовна Давыдова); known affectionately to the composer as '''''Tanya''''' (Таня).
Austrian pianist (b. 20 June 1833 {{NS}} in [[Vienna]]; d. 7 November 1919 in [[Vienna]]); known in Russia as '''''Anton Andreyevich Door''''' (Антон Андреевич Доор).


Tatyana was the eldest child of the composer's sister [[Aleksandra Davydova|Aleksandra]] (b. Tchaikovskaya, 1842–1891) and her husband [[Lev Davydov]] (1837–1896).
Door was a student of Karl Czerny and began his concert career in 1850, touring Italy and Germany. In Stockholm he was appointed pianist to the Swedish royal court, before becoming professor of piano studies at the [[Moscow]] Conservatory from 1866 to 1869, where he taught alongside Tchaikovsky. In 1869, he returned to his homeland as a professor at the [[Vienna]] Conservatory, where he remained until 1901.
 
Tchaikovsky was close to his niece, and when in 1883 she became pregnant by Stanislav Blumenfeld (1850–1897), the composer and his brother [[Modest]] were the only two members of the family to be entrusted with the secret; they took Tatyana to [[Paris]], and arranged her medical care. After she gave birth to a boy, [[Georges-Léon]], the composer himself registered the child's birth, organised his baptism, and provided financial support. Tchaikovsky also helped to arrange [[Georges-Léon]]'s eventual adoption by his brother [[Nikolay]].
 
Tatyana Davydova died suddenly on 19/31 January 1887 in [[Saint Petersburg]], Russia, aged 25. She was buried in the cemetery at the Aleksandr Nevsky Monastery in [[Saint Petersburg]], although the grave site has not been preserved.
