4 июня Многоуважаемый Николай Осипович!

Notes and References
- ↑ La fiera di Venezia (1772), an opera buffa in 3 acts by Antonio Salieri (1750-1825) was one of the eighteenth-century scores that Tchaikovsky had borrowed from the library of the Imperial Theatres while he was working on The Queen of Spades.
