(Received 30 January 1989; revised 6 October 1989)
Spectrality and prespectrality of elementary operators x ® åni=1aixbi, acting on the algebra B(H) of all bounded linear operators on a separable infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space H, or on von Neumann-Schatten classes in B(H), are treated. In the case when (a1, a2, ..., an) and (b1, b2, ..., bn) are two n-tuples of commuting normal operators on H, the complete characterization of spectrality is given.
