Key
An asterisk indicates that the volume is inscribed with a Musica Rara [25 Newport Court, London W2] or English price marking, so was probably obtained by Britten between 1955 and his first visit to the USSR in 1963. Boldface indicates a volume listed at the rear of Britten's 1963 pocket diary under the heading ‘Tschaikov. Ed vols not got (last one got in 62)’ – i.e. a volume not then in his possession.
