First he rented a small house in the village of Maidanovo.
But Maidanovo was too full of tourists in the summer, and
Tchaikovsky had too many visitors, when what he wanted
was peace and quiet. Eventually he found the perfect house,
in the small town of Klin. It was 85 kilometres northwest of
Moscow and he lived there until his death on 6 November
1893. It is the place where he wrote his last major work, his
6th Symphony, or the Pathétique as it is sometimes called.
