Nadezhda von Meck, the wife of a wealthy engineer, became infatuated with Tchaikovsky's music as well as the man himself. Meanwhile, She counseled him about how to get free of his wife of convenience. More importantly, Nadezhda gave him feedback on his works-in-progress and provided him with the space and financial security that allowed him to compose without distraction - until, one day, they finally met in the woods on her estate... and the letter exchanges ceased, for a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was a classical case of what might have been, in a different time.
