Notes and References
- ↑ At the sixth Philharmonic Society concert in Hamburg on 8/20 January 1888, Tchaikovsky had conducted his Serenade for String Orchestra, Op. 48; the final movement from the Suite No. 3, Op. 55; and his Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 23 (soloist: Vasily Sapelnikov). Several German newspapers carried reviews of the concert, although it is not possible to establish which of these Tchaikovsky sent to Ziloti.
