<ref name="note3">In June that year, Tchaikovsky had already stayed with [[Sapelnikov]] and [[Menter]] at their home in Castle [[Itter]], in the Tyrol, but he would not get round to visiting the place again. His only other trip abroad later that summer was a brief visit to [[Hamburg]] in late August/early September (to attend a performance of his opera ''[[Iolanta]]''). From [[Sapelnikov]]'s memoirs we know that he and Tchaikovsky never met again after June 1893.</ref>
