The author derives all real-valued, quasi-periodic, finite-gap solutions of the modified Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. These solutions, in principle, can be derived by algebro-geometric methods [\textit{I. M. Krichever}, J. Sov. Math. 28, 51-90 (1985); translation from Itogi Nauki Tekh., Ser. Sovrem. Probl. Mat. 23, 79-136 (1983; Zbl 0595.35087); \textit{B. A. Dubrovin}, J. Sov. Math. 28, 20-50 (1985); translation from Itogi Nauki Tekh., Ser. Sovrem. Probl. Mat. 23, 33-78 (1983; Zbl 0561.58043)]. A new method is used: a combination of commutationmethods and Hirota's \(\tau\)-function approach together with the explicit theta-function representation for the real-valued, quasi-periodic, finite-gap of the KdV equation. The author shows that a combination of the commutation methods [\textit{P. Deift}, Duke Math. J. 45, No. 2, 267-310 (1978; Zbl 0392.47013)] and Hirota's \(\tau\)-function approach yields the auto-Bäcklund transformation for the KdV equation. The space part of these transformations is the well-known Miura transformation and the time part is the modified KdV equation. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0764.00003].
