"I have not received the letter concerning Rossini, but this has made no great difference as I have seen almost nothing of this cycle (only la semi-dress rehearsal). . . ."
Boris Asafiev (1884-1949) was a Russian composer who also wrote as a music critic under the name Igor Glebov. Asafiev studied with Prokofiev at the St. Petersburg Conservatory and the two remained friends thereafter.
