Tchaikovsky
Symphony numero deux
"Le petite Russian"

Trois VS

[Roehre]

"Le petite Russian"

Btw: little-Russian has got to be understood as Belorussian, not as "small-sized" Russian, as "little Russia" in Tchaikovsky's title is Belorus (or in Germanic languages: White Russia).

Shostakovich: Lady MacBeth of Mtsinsk (place in Belorus IIRC)

[Suffolkcoastal]

Little Russia is the Ukraine, Byelorussia was for many years part of Poland.
