Reading notes
- To M. P. Chekhova, 11–12 March 1887. Petersburg. §2 Klang
A piano dealer or seller in Moscow to whom a 10-rouble installment was owed; not otherwise identified beyond this transactional mention.
- To N. A. Leikin, 21 August 1887. Babkino. §4 outdone even Klang and "Razvlechenie"
Invoking Klang and the rival weekly "Razvlechenie" as a low bar for bad taste -- Chekhov's running shorthand, elsewhere in his letters, for hackwork he otherwise scorns.
