Добрейшая Анна Константиновна!
Можете ли Вы сомневаться, что и Юргенсоны и я будем очень рады, если Вы приедете прослушать моё трио и провести с нами вечер. Искренне Вас уважающий, П. Чайковский |
Most kind Anna Konstantinovna!
Be in no doubt that both the Jurgensons [1] and I will be very glad if you come to hear my trio [2] and spend the evening with us. With sincere respect for you, P. Tchaikovsky |
Notes and References
- ↑ Tchaikovsky is referring to the brothers Pyotr Jurgenson and Osip Jurgenson.
- ↑ The first public performance of Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A minor, Op. 50, had taken place on 11/23 March 1882, while he was travelling abroad. This private performance at Pyotr Jurgenson's apartment in Moscow, was given in the composer's honour, some time between 5/17 and 16/28 April 1882. Afterwards Tchaikovsky made some revisions that were subsequently incorporated into the published score of the trio.
