Berlin 28 February My very dear friend!
I warmly recommend to you Madame Müller-Svyatlovsky, who is the bearer of this letter. She is one of our best singers, with whom I am sure that you will remain content. I should consider it a sign of our sincere friendship if you were to honour her with your protection [1]. Yours ever, P. Tchaikovsky |
Notes and References
- ↑ On 12/24 February 1889, Tchaikovsky met the singer Aleksandra Svyatlovskaya in Berlin, a former student at the Moscow Conservatory. The composer wrote letters of recommendation which the singer apparently did not use (see also Letter 3797 and Letter 3798 of the same date).
