You probably already know from [[Papasha]]&amp;#039;s letters that I quite unexpectedly ended up in [[Petersburg]] for the holidays, where I&amp;#039;d been summoned to attend the committee who were deciding the fate of my opera. I was convinced that I&amp;#039;d be turned down, and because of this I dared not even go directly to [[Papasha]], so that he wouldn&amp;#039;t worry about my long face. The day after the inauspicious committee meeting, which cost me much torment yet however ended to my complete satisfaction, I went to see [[Papasha]] and stayed with him for about a week. I won&amp;#039;t say that I spent these days pleasantly, because I was torn to pieces; every day there were musical soirées and dinners, so much so that I was even looking forward to the chance to slip away from all these pleasures&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;, &lt;/del&gt;and swiftly return to my dear blessed Mother [[Moscow]]. There really is less commotion and more peace here. Now in general on this trip I&amp;#039;ve become convinced of the extent to which I&amp;#039;ve been irrevocably torn away from [[Petersburg]] and, on the contrary, to the extent that I&amp;#039;ve settled down in [[Moscow]]. No matter how much I was coddled and no matter what [[Petersburg]] gave me, I&amp;#039;ll now stay an inveterate Muscovite for the rest of my life. This seems to happen to everyone who lives in [[Moscow]]. My sweetest and most cherished dream is that one day you, my dears, will move to the first capital. In [[Piter]] I visited Adamov, who, despite all his promotions and the incredible luxury of his surroundings, hasn&amp;#039;t changed in the least. His wife is nice. Sofya Ivanovna has the look of a woman who has always been certain that Misha, and therefore she, will always be rich and important. Also there, i.e. in [[Petersburg]], I saw Aunt Katya, who was hanging on my neck for at least half an hour, and Lida Olkhovskaya, who I found to be much better and cheerful.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sorry, golubushka, that as usual I&amp;#039;ve been lazy and not let anyone know about myself for ages.

Из писем Папаши ты, вероятно, уже знаешь, что я на праздники совершенно неожиданно попал в Питер, куда меня вызвали для присутствования в комитете, решавшем судьбу моей оперы. Я так был убеждён, что меня забракуют и вследствие этого был до того расстроен, что даже не решился прямо отправиться к Папаше, боясь его обеспокоить своим отчаянным видом. На другой день после злополучного комитета, стоившего мне многих терзаний и однако же окончившегося к моему полному у довольствию, я поехал к Папаше и прожил у него около недели. Не скажу, чтобы эти дни были проведены мною приятно, ибо я был разрываем на куски; что ни день, то музыкальные вечера и обеды, так, что я даже с нетерпением ожидал возможности улизнуть от всех этих удовольствий и поскорее вернуться в мою милую, богоспасаемую матушку-Москву. Здесь в самом деле меньше суеты и больше покоя. Вообще я теперь в эту поездку убедился, до какой степени я безвозвратно оторвался от Петербурга и, напротив, до чего я обжился в Москве. Как бы меня ни ласкали и какие бы удачи ни дались мне в удел в Петербурге, я уж теперь до конца жизни останусь закоренелым москвичом. Так, кажется, бывает со всеми, пожившими в Москве. Моя сладчайшая и вожделеннейшая мечта, — это, чтобы когда-нибудь и Вы, милые мои, переселились в первопрестольную. В Питере был у Адамова, который, несмотря на все свои повышения и на невероятную роскошь, которою он окружён, — нисколько не переменился. Жена его мне понравилась. Софья Ивановна имеет вид женщины, которая всегда была уверена, что Миша, а следовательно, и она будут важны и богаты. Видел я там, т. е. в Петербурге, Тётю Катю, висевшую у меня на шее по крайней мере полчаса, и Лиду Ольховскую, которую Я нашёл весьма много поправившеюся и повеселевшею.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Прости, голубушка, что по обыкновению ленюсь и давно не даю о себе ничего знать.

You probably already know from [[Papasha]]&#039;s letters that I quite unexpectedly ended up in [[Petersburg]] for the holidays, where I&#039;d been summoned to attend the committee who were deciding the fate of my opera. I was convinced that I&#039;d be turned down, and because of this I dared not even go directly to [[Papasha]], so that he wouldn&#039;t worry about my long face. The day after the inauspicious committee meeting, which cost me much torment yet however ended to my complete satisfaction, I went to see [[Papasha]] and stayed with him for about a week. I won&#039;t say that I spent these days pleasantly, because I was torn to pieces; every day there were musical soirées and dinners, so much so that I was even looking forward to the chance to slip away from all these pleasures, and swiftly return to my dear blessed Mother [[Moscow]]. There really is less commotion and more peace here. Now in general on this trip I&#039;ve become convinced of the extent to which I&#039;ve been irrevocably torn away from [[Petersburg]] and, on the contrary, to the extent that I&#039;ve settled down in [[Moscow]]. No matter how much I was coddled and no matter what [[Petersburg]] gave me, I&#039;ll now stay an inveterate Muscovite for the rest of my life. This seems to happen to everyone who lives in [[Moscow]]. My sweetest and most cherished dream is that one day you, my dears, will move to the first capital. In [[Piter]] I visited Adamov, who, despite all his promotions and the incredible luxury of his surroundings, hasn&#039;t changed in the least. His wife is nice. Sofya Ivanovna has the look of a woman who has always been certain that Misha, and therefore she, will always be rich and important. Also there, i.e. in [[Petersburg]], I saw Aunt Katya, who was hanging on my neck for at least half an hour, and Lida Olkhovskaya, who I found to be much better and cheerful. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Прости, голубушка, что по обыкновению ленюсь и давно не даю о себе ничего знать. Из писем Папаши ты, вероятно, уже знаешь, что я на праздники совершенно неожиданно попал в Питер, куда меня вызвали для присутствования в комитете, решавшем судьбу моей оперы. Я так был убеждён, что меня забракуют и вследствие этого был до того расстроен, что даже не решился прямо отправиться к Папаше, боясь его обеспокоить своим отчаянным видом. На другой день после злополучного комитета, стоившего мне многих терзаний и однако же окончившегося к моему полному у довольствию, я поехал к Папаше и прожил у него около недели. Не скажу, чтобы эти дни были проведены мною приятно, ибо я был разрываем на куски; что ни день, то музыкальные вечера и обеды, так, что я даже с нетерпением ожидал возможности улизнуть от всех этих удовольствий и поскорее вернуться в мою милую, богоспасаемую матушку-Москву. Здесь в самом деле меньше суеты и больше покоя. Вообще я теперь в эту поездку убедился, до какой степени я безвозвратно оторвался от Петербурга и, напротив, до чего я обжился в Москве. Как бы меня ни ласкали и какие бы удачи ни дались мне в удел в Петербурге, я уж теперь до конца жизни останусь закоренелым москвичом. Так, кажется, бывает со всеми, пожившими в Москве. Моя сладчайшая и вожделеннейшая мечта, — это, чтобы когда-нибудь и Вы, милые мои, переселились в первопрестольную. В Питере был у Адамова, который, несмотря на все свои повышения и на невероятную роскошь, которою он окружён, — нисколько не переменился. Жена его мне понравилась. Софья Ивановна имеет вид женщины, которая всегда была уверена, что Миша, а следовательно, и она будут важны и богаты. Видел я там, т. е. в Петербурге, Тётю Катю, висевшую у меня на шее по крайней мере полчаса, и Лиду Ольховскую, которую Я нашёл весьма много поправившеюся и повеселевшею.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Сейчас был у Ал[ександры] Ив[ановны], которая была не совсем здорова, но теперь поправляется, т. е. она уже здорова, но только не выезжает. Не знаю, жаловалась ли тебе на меня сестрица Наст[асья] Вас[ильевна], которую я заставил довольно долго дожидаться моего приношения, в чем весьма раскаиваюсь; впрочем, она мне написала очень нежное, благодарственное письмо.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Авдотью Яковлевну видел и получил несколько трагикомических сцен, а сюда в Москву грозное письмо, упрекающее меня в неблагодарности и жестокости сердца.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Моде не пишу, ибо надеюсь, что это письмо Вы будете читать вместе. Крепко тебя обнимаю н целую твои ручки, а также твоего Льва и всех детей. Ник[олаю] Вас[ильевичу] — низкий поклон.&lt;br /&gt;

Послезавтра здесь будут исполнять мою новую симфонию.&lt;br /&gt;
