The Complicated Case

Мудреный слючай

Sketches (date unknown)

  • An unrealised project, dating from after 1880.
  • Written for medium voice with piano (?).
  • Text by Petr Shumakher, from his poem of the same name (1873).

History

This sketch was found inside a volume of poetry by Petr Shumakher after the composer’s death, and was presumably intended for a song or other vocal work.
