Re: Beltov and Lyuba

Don't yet know the answer to your question, but the piece probably
also goes by the name Impromptu passione and is currently available on
CD in performances by John Browning and Nina Kavtaradze.  Perhaps the
liner notes to one of those releases would have the answer.  I haven't
looked it up in Grove's or a Mussorgsky bio.
