I want to recommend heartily Madame Teriane <ref name="note2"/>, a singer of great talent and very famous in Italy. She would like to sing in one of your concerts. I would be glad if that could be arranged.

Yours ever,

==Notes and References==
<references>
<ref name="note1">If this was 16 January {{NS}} then this letter must have been written in [[Berlin]], where Tchaikovsky stayed for just one day before leaving for [[Hamburg]] "to have a rest from the busy [[Warsaw]] life, in complete loneliness", as he wrote in [[letter 4591]] to [[Anna Merkling]]. However, if it was 16 January {{OS}} then it must have been written in [[Paris]], where Tchaikovsky arrived on 9/21 January. The editors of {{bib|1979/112|П. И. Чайковский. Полное собрание сочинений ; том XVI-Б}} (1979) believed the latter date to be more likely.</ref>
<ref name="note2">The mezzo-soprano Yelena Iosifovna Teryan-Korganova (b. 1864). During his stay in [[Tiflis]], Tchaikovsky, together with his brother [[Anatoly]], attended a recital given by her, as he noted in his diary on 22 April/4 May 1889. She worked as a vocal teacher in [[Saint Petersburg]] (where Kseniya Derzhinskaya was one of her pupils), at the Music and Drama School of the [[Moscow]] Philharmonic Society, and at the [[Paris]] Conservatory.</ref>
