<ref name="note1">Tchaikovsky conducted [[Herman Laroche]]'s overture ''Carmosine'' (Кармозина) at the first symphony concert of the Russian Musical Society in [[Saint Petersburg]] on 16/28 October 1893 (in a programme which also included the premiers of his own [[Symphony No. 6]]).</ref><br />
<ref name="note2">This note, and the humorous attempt to write this letter in English, alludes to the fact that on 1/13 June 1893 Tchaikovsky had received an honorary doctorate of music at [[Cambridge]] University in England.</ref><br />
