| Summary |
In the introduction to Part II of the dictionary, Tchaikovsky is
credited as a "reviewer of proof pages and supplier of notes". A rough draft of the
entry Demestvennyi penie exists in the composer’s handwriting,
although it differs in many respects from the version published in Part III
of the dictionary, after the composer’s death. |
