| ==Tchaikovsky in Trostinets==
| |
| Tchaikovsky spent the summer of 1864 at the family estate of Prince Aleksey Golitsyn at Trostinets, during which he wrote his overture ''[[The Storm]]''.
| |
| | |
| On Tchaikovsky's name-day (29 June/10 July), the prince organised a festival in honour of his friend. A celebratory breakfast was followed later that evening by a carriage ride through the forest, "where the whole road had been flanked with flaming pitch barrels, while in a pavilion in the midst of the woods a feast for the peasants had been set up as well as a sumptuous supper in honour of the subject of the celebration" <ref name="note1"/>.
