Maria Alexandrovna Tsvetaeva (nee Maria Alexandrovna Main; 1868-1906) was the second wife of Ivan Tsvetaev, and mother of Marina Tsvetaeva and Anastasia Tsvetayeva.
Biography[edit]
Maria Alexandrovna's father, Alexander Danilovich Mein (1836-1899)— was a Baltic German ancestry. Mother — Maria Lukinichna Bernatskaya (1840-1868) — came from a Polish aristocratic family[1]; died 3 weeks after the birth of her daughter.
Maria received an excellent home education, studied music and painting. She was a gifted pianist, dreamed of performing concerts, but her father forbade her to pursue a career as a professional musician. According to Anastasia Tsvetaeva, she studied music with N. A. Muromtseva, a favorite student of Nikolai Rubinstein, and painting with the artist Clodt. Marina Tsvetaeva wrote in one of the letters of 1914: "Ecstasy of music, great talent (I probably won't hear such piano and guitar playing anymore!), language ability, brilliant memory, great style, poems in Russian and German, painting classes."
In 1891, she married Ivan Vladimirovich Tsvetaev, becoming his second wife.
In 1902, when Maria Alexandrovna was diagnosed with tuberculosis, the family went abroad to Italy for her treatment. In 1905, the Tsvetaevs returned to Russia, lived in the Crimea, in Yalta.
In the summer of 1906, Maria Alexandrovna died in Tarusa. She was buried in Moscow at the Vagankovsky Cemetery (14th grade).
