Chekhov was twenty-seven when he wrote Ivanov. He had written several other plays, but Ivanov was the first to be performed. He wrote it in the autumn of 1887 at the request of Fyodor Korsh, a Moscow theatrical manager. T'he subject occurred to Chekhov while going to bed one night, and he finished its first version (altogether seven versions of the play are extant) in ten days. It was first performed at Korsh's Theatre on November 19, 1887.

Clifford Curzon (piano)
Sonata in D minor, Op. 31 No. 2
Beethoven
Ninth of twelve programmes
This recital and the next on March 2 (consisting of Schubert's Impromptus Op. 142) have been recorded by Clifford Curzon in the studio at his house, on « piano made about 1820 by the London firm of Stodairt. Although the instrument naturally betrays its age in a certain unevenness of action, it makes possible tfhe use of effects that are characteristic of the piano music of Beethoven and Schubert.
