    Anton Rubinstein's Neron, premiered in Hamburg in German, with a later Russian premiere in Italian.

    great quote from Tchaikovsky

    The reason I play this loathsome thing is the consciousness of my own superiority - and that keeps up my strength. You think you are writing abominably, but then you look at this drivel which people have performed in all seriousness, and your soul feels lighter
    Missing the accent (Néron), but otherwise correct. We now wait until 4.30 for fhg to come back for a P.

            "...the isle is full of noises,
            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
