Rachmaninoff then found his first romance in Vera, the youngest daughter of the neighbouring Skalon family, but her mother objected and forbade Rachmaninoff to write to her, leaving him to correspond with her older sister Natalia.

Ivanovka was the ideal location for Rachmaninoff to compose Rachmaninoff spent his summer break in 1890 with the Satins at Ivanovka, their private country estate near Tambov, to which the composer would return many times until 1917. The peaceful and bucolic surroundings became a source of inspiration for the composer who completed many compositions while at the estate, including his Op. 1, the Piano Concerto , which he dedicated to Siloti, in July 1891.

Joseph's album Wanderlusting was recorded during the summer of 2013 at Bird Creek Studios in the woods of upstate New York with co-producer, studio owner and long-time friend Drew Nix. Inspired by the solace of the isolated bucolic surroundings, the pair created a collection of songs which act as vignettes into a year in Joseph's life when his former relationship, band and record label all collapsed. The album exudes a sense of celebration, mischief, irreverence and beauty, and has a stripped-down indie rock meets 60's surf sound. To tour the album, Joseph formed a three-piece live band with himself on lead vocals and guitar, Kayce Laine McGehee on keyboards and backing vocals, and Will Whatley on drums.
