5 мая Клин Голубчик Андрюша! Я на основании твоих слов, что нужно всего 3 колена, не написал Trio для марша. Теперь, узнав, что оно нужно, спешу послать. Крепко обнимаю тебя. П. Чайковский Прости, что мало пишу, — тороплюсь, сейчас уезжаю. |
5 May Klin Golubchik Andryusha! Going by your words that there just need to be 3 sections in all I didn't write a Trio for the march [1]. Now I know that it's required I'm hurrying to send it to you. I embrace you warmly. P. Tchaikovsky I'm sorry to write so little: I'm in rush, about to leave [2]. |
