by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov

Pan Voyevoda 57, 186, 262.

[No. 212.] Ivan the Terrible, Act II 19; cf. also Act. III 5.

* [No. 213]-[214]. Legend of Kitesh 294, 312 (compare).

* [No. 215.] The Golden Cockerel 116; cf. also 82 and 84.

Tutti pizzicato.

The quartet of strings (pizzicato), reinforced occasionally by the harp and piano, may, in certain cases constitute a particular kind of tutti, which can only attain any great degree of strength by support from the wood-wind. Without this support it is of medium power, though still fairly brilliant in quality.

Examples:

[No. 216.] Snegourotchka, before 128; cf. also 153 and before 305.

* [No. 217.] Russian Easter Fête K; cf. also U and V.
