 | The music to the second act was written by Kurpiñski (born in 1785),[32] a composer of great creative ability, and a master of orchestral coloring, whose works, if influenced somewhat by Rossini, are nevertheless of high dramatic merit. |
| In 1791, immediately after the death of Patiomkine, Kozlowski was attached to the court as director of music at the imperial theaters, which post he occupied during the reigns of Paul and Alexander I. A stroke of apoplexy in 1821 obliged him to retire with a pension; he died March 17, 1831. |
