Dates, Transliteration, and Original
Language Quotations
Dates
All dates in this book before 1 February 1918 are given according to the Old Style
(Julian) calendar. All other dates are given according to the New Style (Gregorian)
calendar. Occasionally, where appropriate, both dates are given to add clarity.
Transliteration
We have adopted the New Grove system of Russian transliteration in this book:
see The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, ed. Stanley Sadie, 6th edn
(20 vols, London: Macmillan, 1980), vol. 1, pp. xvi–xvii. In line with common
practice, certain modifications have been made within the main body of the
text, primarily to aid pronunciation: (i) common words, especially names, retain
the form most often encountered in British English (for example, Tchaikovsky
instead of Chaykovskiy); (ii) the Russian adjectival ending ‘-ий’ at the end of
names is given simply as ‘y’ instead of the rather inelegant ‘iy’. In footnotes
and bibliography, however, sources are cited in strict transliteration, or as they
appear on book covers. Whilst this policy may give rise to inconsistencies between
the main text and footnotes, and sometimes within individual footnotes, it is
nevertheless a compromise accepted by most writers on Russian subjects.
book whose working title is Text, Music and Performance in Opera. In 2005 Prof.
Ewans was elected as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.
Stephen Muir is a Senior Lecturer in Music at the University of Leeds, UK. His
research focuses on the music of Russia and Eastern Europe (particularly Rimsky-
Korsakov and Dvořák) and Jewish liturgical music. Recent publications include
a chapter on Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera Pan Voyevoda in a collection of essays in
honour of Julian Rushton (Boydell and Brewer, 2010), an article on the British
reception of Rimsky-Korsakov up to 1900 (Music and Letters, November 2012),
studies of the musical source material for Dvořák’s opera Tvrdé palice in preparation
for a scholarly edition of the opera in Bärenreiter’s New Dvořák Edition, and a
chapter on South Africa’s Jewish choral tradition for the volume The Globalization
of Musics in Transit: Music Migration and Tourism, edited by Simone Krüger and
Ruxandra Trandafoiu (Routledge Studies in Ethnomusicology, 2013).
Jan Smaczny was educated at Oxford University and the Charles University,
Prague. He is a well-known scholar of Czech music, in particular opera in the
national revival and the life and music of Dvořák and Martinů. His publications
include studies of Dvořák’s and Martinů’s operas, Dvořák’s B minor cello concerto,
the Czech symphony and eighteenth-century Czech music. Diversions from the
main body of research comprise studies of Mozart and the twentieth century,
Mozart and Prague, and a jointly edited volume (with Michael Murphy) entitled
Music in Nineteenth-Century Ireland (Four Courts Press, 2007). Smaczny’s career
as a university teacher was based, as lecturer and senior lecturer, variously at St
Peter’s College, Oxford, and the University of Birmingham. Since 1996 he has
been Sir Hamilton Harty Professor of Music at Queen’s University Belfast. He
was president of the Society for Musicology in Ireland for two terms, and is a vice-
president of the Royal Musical Association.

the aesthete and the critic, the master of language, the student and creator of myths
