Natal'ia PleskaiaNatal'ia Andreevna Pleskaia (Наталия Андреевна Плеская) was a close friend of the composer's sister Aleksandra, and a cousin to his brother-in-law Lev Davydov, born in 1837. Tchaikovsky was very fond of Natal'ia Pleskaia, and admired her sunny disposition and ready wit. In 1878 he wrote a piano piece (Nathalie-valse) specially for her, and he revised this three years later as the Nata-Valse (No. 4 of the Six Pieces, Op. 51). |
