Notes and Translation
- ↑ At the time of publication of П. И. Чайковский. Полное собрание сочинений, том XVII (1981), the autograph was in the collection of Mr Imre Kuna in Budapest.
- ↑ Tchaikovsky first met Berta Foerstrová-Lautererová when he visited Prague in 1888. In September 1892 he returned to the Czech capital to conduct his opera The Queen of Spades, but did not have the opportunity to meet her again on that occasion.
