| Не могу не поблагодарить тебя за предупредительность с которой (зная мою страсть к корректурам) ты прислал мне для корректирования какую-то скрипичную школу. К сожалению я принуждён отказаться (по недосугу) от этого высокого наслаждения... и возвращаю тебе корректурные листы.
Что касается концерта, то в нем некоторых стр[аниц] недостаёт, напр[имер] 134, — а между тем я отметил в ней немало ошибок??? Я зайду сегодня днём. П. Чайковский |
I cannot thank you enough for the consideration with which (knowing my passion for proofreading) you sent me some violin school or other for checking. Unfortunately I am obliged to forgo (for want of time) this loftiest of pleasures... and I'm returning the proof sheets to you.
With regard to the concerto [2], then there are some pages missing, for example 134, — but besides that I've noticed more than a few mistakes??? I'm coming this afternoon. P. Tchaikovsky |
