{{centre|Милый Саша!}}<br />
Программы у меня никакой нет! Что желаешь, то и буду исполнять. О «''Воеводе''» я тебе уже говорил; сыграю ''его'', если желаешь—''«Танцы» из оп[еры] «Воевода»'', а про остальное я ничего не знаю. В воскресенье буду в Москве; приезжай ко мне часов в 11.<br />
<br />
Обнимаю.<br />

{{centre|Dear [[Aleksandr Ziloti|Sasha]]!}}<br />
I have no programme whatsoever! I'll perform whatever you want <ref name="note1"/>. As for ''[[The Voyevoda (symphonic ballad)|The Voyevoda]]'' I've already said: play ''it'', and if you want, the ''Dances from the opera [[The Voyevoda (opera)|The Voyevoda]]'' too; as for the rest I don't know anything. On Sunday I'll be in [[Moscow]]; come to me at 11 o'clock.<br />
<br />
I hug you.<br />

==Notes and References==<br />
<references><br />
<ref name="note1">Tchaikovsky was conducting a concert organised by [[Ziloti]] in [[Moscow]] on 6/18 November 1891. The programme would include the Entr'acte and Dances of the Chambermaids (Act II, No. 4) from the opera ''[[The Voyevoda (opera)|The Voyevoda]]'', which Tchaikovsky had recently revised for publication, and the first performance of the symphonic ballad ''[[The Voyevoda (symphonic ballad)|The Voyevoda]]''. The composer was so unhappy with the latter work that he destroyed the full score immediately after the premiere, although [[Ziloti]] collected up the orchestral parts before they could suffer a similar fate. This enabled the ballad to be reconstructed and published after his death.</ref><br />
