Note

"The music of the Elegy is identical to the aria Katerina sings ... at the end of Act One of Lady Macbeth; this part of the opera was composed at about the same time as the quartet pieces, so it is difficult to determine which is the original. The following Polka ... originates in the ballet The Golden Age"--Program notes.

Digital recording.
