Edward Agate translation
[C] The present volume is divided into two parts, text (pp. 1-152) and musical examples (pp. 1-333). The first page of the second part lists the standard full-score editions of Rimsky-Korsakov's works that are referred to throughout the book. These references to specific passages are always indicated by boxed numbers or boxed letters corresponding to the ones marking the sub-divisions of the particular score. On the other hand, references in the text to the 312 musical examples in the second part of the book are always indicated as "No. 1," "No. 2," etc. Thus, "The Tsar's Bride 84" indicates that the reader should look at section 84 of the score of The Tsar's Bride as published by Belaieff in Leipzig, the music of which is not reprinted here; whereas "No. 1. Shéhérazade 2nd movement B" indicates that the reader should look at the first musical example in the second part of the present book, which comes from the section marked B in the second movement of the score of Shéhérazade as published by Belaieff.
