Mrs. Maker's Love Fairy Tale

In this way, music made Mrs. Meck and Tchaikovsky meet in a fateful way. Mrs. Meck is a wealthy widow living in the suburbs of Moscow. She is beautiful, elegant and extraordinary, but her life is not satisfactory. She inherited her late husband's rich inheritance and owned everything in her manor, but she felt deeply lonely mentally. Wealth had tired her. Her idealistic mind was constantly agitated by vague longings. She is an emotional woman who needs to give love and receive love. Tchaikovsky's genius music was regarded as a dawn in her life. In order for the proud and sensitive composer to accept her own funding, Mrs. Meck did not come forward in person in the name of collecting music, but only wrote a letter to commission Tchaikovsky to arrange the music. Tchaikovsky was very willing to compose for this lady of elegant taste. The "transaction" proceeds naturally and reasonably. Despite the high price, she was deeply disturbed by the artistic genius composing music for an ordinary woman like her. In terms of her value, no matter how much money she has, there is no comparison with Tchaikovsky's musical talent. Gradually, the content of the letters between the two went beyond "transaction" and expanded into the depths of art and life, music and love. This is no ordinary romance. Because Mrs. Meck had no vows, and Tchaikovsky had no promises. The correspondence between Yu and Yan made their connected hearts very close. Their respective lives were filled with irrepressible passion and were deeply interesting, but they only maintained the form of correspondence, as if they were observing a tacit agreement, and in this way they wanted to show that there was not no distance between them. Whether their letters were love letters or not is debatable, but it doesn't really matter. The level of correspondence between them has gone far beyond the usual meaning of love letters. They used letters as a carrier to talk about art, confess to each other, express their true feelings, express their ideals, collide with love, cleanse the soul, inspire life, and sublimate the realm... How can such rich connotations and profound enjoyment be simply reduced to love letters? ?

For Eastern peoples who are good at expressing their feelings through antiphonal songs, gifts, drinks, matchmaking, etc., they may not be very accustomed to using love letters to express their feelings. However, in modern European and American civilization, love letters have an unusual status. It can be said that it is a cultural tradition of Westerners to express their love and longing for each other through letters. Not to mention artists with a romantic temperament, even those professional revolutionaries, politicians and scientists are often like this. I can list Marx, Lenin, Sverdlov, Dzerzhinsky, Marie Curie, Dimitrov, Fuchik, Faraday, Bethune, Franklin, Nobel and a long list of outstanding names. , they all had a relationship with love letters. According to reports, former French President Mitterrand wrote as many as 2,400 love letters to his lovers in his youth. For Easterners, this is simply an incredible astronomical number. What makes Eastern culture even more puzzled is that Mrs. Meck and Tchaikovsky have exchanged letters frequently for 14 years, but they have almost never met and do not want to meet. This is so mysterious and magical that even ordinary Westerners cannot understand it. It also takes a lot of thought.
