29 марта Твоему намеренью издать балет и оперу в партитуре я могу только радоваться. Но не слишком ли это большой расход? Не достаточно ли литографировать? Впрочем, повторяю: очень, очень радуюсь. Обнимаю. П. Чайковский |
29 March I can only rejoice at your intention to publish the full scores of the ballet and opera [1]. But isn't this too great an expense? Wouldn't a lithograph be sufficient? And yet I repeat: I am very, very glad. I embrace you. P. Tchaikovsky |

- ↑ Tchaikovsky was replying to Pyotr Jurgenson's letter of 28 March/9 April 1892, in which he wrote that the orchestral scores of the ballet The Nutcracker and the opera Iolanta would be printed, together with the piano reductions being made by Sergey Taneyev.
