Section Listing
After the opera was rejected for performance, Tchaikovsky destroyed the score in the 1870s. Only three fragments from Act I have survived intact:
- Introduction / Интродукция (Introduktsiya)
Moderato assai (107 bars) - Undina's Song / Песнь Ундины (Pesn Undiny)
Moderato (149 bars) - Finale / Финал (Final)
Allegro (164 bars)
The Introduction was re-used without change in The Snow Maiden, Op.12 (1873)
