 It was while in London that he suddenly died at the age of 32.Nikolai Devitte authored at least 64 songs, 73 piano pieces and 3 suites for harp, as well as one opera and two ballets.The major part of his legacy, though, remains undiscovered yet; large part of it is apparently 'diluted' among the host of obscure Russian 'one hit wonders' whom Devitte had presented his own work by way of charity.
