Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky · 1840–1893 · Russian
| Composed | 1878 |
| Before you announce it | Edition note: Tchaikovsky revised the opera after its first performances (March 1879, October 1880, August 1885, June–July 1891); the variants between the three published editions are mainly in the ending of the last scene (Tchaikovsky Research). Confirm which edition the parts follow. Edition note: the PICCOLO is a separate chair — Kalmus 2+1, the IMSLP parts list names Piccolo, Flute 1 and Flute 2, and Tchaikovsky Research lists "piccolo, 2 flutes" — so three flute-family players are costed. Boosey's own shorthand, 2(II=picc), has the second flute double it: one player fewer, costed as a separate version. |
