Notes and References
- ↑ On 12/24 June 1892 Tchaikovsky received a letter from the Czech music publisher Velebín Urbánek, asking for a piece to be included in the Christmas 1892 edition of his collection Piano-forte. It was apparently in response to this request that Tchaikovsky wrote the Moment lyrique, the manuscript score of which is dated 26 October/7 November 1892, and includes this note.
