History

Commissioned by the Ancient Russian Society for the Arts, which Tchaikovsky joined in May 1874. Most of the handbook appears to have been written by the end of 1874, since on 12/24 January 1875, Tchaikovsky set out a detailled list of the handbook’s contents to Dmitrii Razumovskii [1], which closely corresponds to the printed edition.
