21 сент[ября] 1880 На меня нашло затмение. Для чего ты мне прислал партитуру 4-й симфонии? Делал я корректуру её или нет, — решительно не могу вспомнить. Нужно ли мне её просмотреть и отметить опечатки или она уж вполне готова? Если да, то скажи, кто делал корректуру? Отвечай мне по возможности скорей на этот вопрос! Спасибо за все твои присылки. Твой П. Чайковский Пожалуйста, похлопочи насчёт странника! |
