{{centre|Cher et {{sic|trés|très}} respecté Monsieur!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Bien qu&amp;#039;un peu étonné de ce que ma premiere {{sic|simphonie|symphonie}} possédât le don de Vous plaire plutôt que mes œuvres postérieures, je Vous remercie infiniment pour le désir que Vous manifestez de faire {{sic|connaitre|connaître}} aux {{sic|Liégois|Liégeois}}, dont le suffrage me flatte grandement, une {{sic|simphonie|symphonie}}, quoique faible sous tous les rapports, mais peut-être ayant le mérite de bien recommander la chaleur du sentiment sincère que me l&amp;#039;inspirât.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je suis {{sic|desolé|désolé}} de ce que la partition gravée, que Vous {{sic|possedez|possédez}} fourmille de fautes d&amp;#039;impression. Mon éditeur &amp;#039;&amp;#039;P. I. Jurgenson&amp;#039;&amp;#039; a l&amp;#039;intention de publier une nouvelle édition. En attendant je ne puis remédier à la chose qu&amp;#039;en V[ou]s expédiant les parties d&amp;#039;orchestre que, je {{sic|croix|crois}}, sont corrigées. {{sic|Dumoins|Du moins}} M[onsieu]r P. Jurgenson vient de me faire savoir par télégraphe qu&amp;#039;il a pour Vous se{{...}} &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; des parties qui {{sic|deja|déjà}} ont servi à une exécution de cette {{sic|simphonie|symphonie}} à Moscou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Voila, {{sic|trés|très}} respecté Monsieur, ce que j&amp;#039;ai pu faire pour Vous prouver que je suis bien touché de&lt;br /&gt;
l&amp;#039;attention {{sic|trés|très}}  flatteuse que V[ou]s voulez bien me témoigner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je suis, Monsieur, Votre {{sic|trés|très}} {{sic|devoué|dévoué}} serviteur,&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|P. Tschaïkowsky}}&lt;br /&gt;
De grâce, ne m&amp;#039;en voulez pas de toutes les peines que V[ou]s aurez à faire jouer une œuvre difficile et dont la partition est mal gravée.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|Translated text={{right|[[Saint Petersburg]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;11/23 December 1887}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{centre|Dear and most respected Monsieur!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Although I am a little surprised that my [[Symphony No. 1|first symphony]] is possessed of such qualities as to please you more than my subsequent works, I thank you infinitely for your desire to make it known in Liége, where I am greatly flattered by the approbation for a symphony, which although weak in many respects, still perhaps has merit as a testament to the warmth of the sincere feelings that inspired me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I apologise that the engraved score which you possess is riddled with typographical errors &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. My publisher &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Pyotr Jurgenson|P. I. Jurgenson]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is intending to publish a new edition. Until then I can only remedy this by sending you the orchestral parts which, I understand, have been corrected. At least, Monsieur [[Jurgenson]] has just informed me by telegraph that he can make available to you parts which have been used in a performance of this symphony in [[Moscow]] &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This, most respected Monsieur, I have been able to do in order to demonstrate how very touched I am by the flattering attention which you have shown to me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am, Monsieur, your most devoted servant,&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|P. Tchaikovsky}}&lt;br /&gt;
I beg you not to be angry with me for all the pains you will have to endure in order to play a difficult work, the score of which has been badly engraved.&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes and References==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;references&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The next word is indecipherable.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The first edition of the symphony&amp;#039;s full score was published in 1875, and to Tchaikovsky&amp;#039;s annoyance was full of mistakes. See, for example, his [[Letter 2368]] to [[Karl Albrecht]], 17/29 October 1883.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;See [[Letter 3432]] and [[Letter 3433]] to [[Pyotr Jurgenson]], dated 10/22 and 11/23 December 1887.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
