Chaikovskogo (Klin, Moscow Oblast) (Muzei-zapovednik P.I. Chaikovskogo)Holdings Total: ca. 205,000 units, 1750–1998? photographs—37,543 units (1848–1998); films—275 units (1940–1998); sound recordings—5,537 units (late 19th–1998); letters by Tchaikovsky—over 4,000; letters to Tchaikovsky—over 7,000 The museum holds the largest single collection of Tchaikovsky's personal papers and music scores, although many of his manuscripts and documents have found their way into other repositories. Among the most interesting documents are the rough copies, studies and drafts for a number of works; several final copies; eighteen notebooks; and all of his remaining diaries (in ten copy-books). The museum holds the greatest part of the originals of Tchaikovsky's correspondence—letters both written by Tchaikovsky and addressed to him. The museum also contains the archive of his brother, M.I. Tchaikovsky and parts of the archives of a number of other persons who were prominent in the Russian music world during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including S.I. Taneev, A.S. Arenskii, G.A. Larosh, N.D. Kashkin, A.A. Brandukov, and E.F. Napravnik. There are many photographs and some additional documentation of relatives, classmates, friends, and musical colleagues, including his father, I.P. Tchaikovsky (Chaikovskii) (1795–1880); his brothers, Nikolai Il'ich (1838–1911), Anatolii Il'ich (1850–1915), Ippolit Il'ich (1843–1927), and Modest Il'ich (1850–1916); his nephew V.L. Davydov (1871–1906); his closest friend, N.F. von Mekk; and students and professors at the Moscow Conservatory. N.B. A significant part of the literary production and correspondence of the composer was published in the complete collected works of Tchaikovsky, Polnoe sobranie sochinenii (Moscow: Gos. muzykal'noe izd-vo, 1953–), which was based on materials in the museum. Some of the volumes appear in the series of Trudy Gosudarstvennogo doma-muzeia P.I. Chaikovskogo.
