It was composed as an orchestral interlude as part of the Opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Tsar Saltan was first produced in 1900, and Tchaikovsky died 1893. Therefore he was probably not directly associated with it because he was dead when it was completed. However, the two composers were quite close and visited one another often.
