Каменка 8 мая 1881 Воображаю, как я тебе надоел! В дополнение к выписанным вчера вещам, прошу прислать ещё следующее: 1) Мне хочется попытаться написать всенощную, и для этого я нуждаюсь в полном тексте её; прикажи узнать, нет ли в продаже такой книги, подобно тому как есть, напр[имер], Краткое изложение литургии для мирян, и, если есть, то пришли мне. У меня имеется книга, где есть утреня и вечерня, но это не то; мне нужна именно всенощная со всеми эктениями и со всем, что поётся. 2) Я начал изучать обиход, но, дабы иметь о нем полное понятне, я нуждаюсь в книге Разумовского (История церковной музыки) и поэтому прошу мне оную прислать. Заранее за неё это благодарю. Твой П. Чайковский |
