8 июля [18]89 Милый Боря! Я решился существенных перемен в «Marche Slave» не делать, но очень попросил бы Кризандера исправить все имеющиеся в партитуре ошибки (разумеется, в том случае, если П[ётр] И[ванович] хочет сделать новое издание). Итак, если нужно моё разрешение для печатания новых голосов, то оное даю весьма охотно. Целую тебя в обе пухлые щеки. Кланяйся Саше, Нине Валер[ьяновне] и Павлу Иван[овичу]. Твой, П. Чайковский |
8 July 1889 Dear Borya! I've decided not to make significant changes to the "Marche Slave", but would ask Chrysander [1] to correct all the existing mistakes in the full score (naturally, in the event that Pyotr Ivanovich wants to do a new edition). Therefore, if my permission is required to print new parts, then I give it most willingly [2]. I kiss you on both chubby cheeks. I bow to Sasha, Nina Valeryanovna and Pavel Ivanovich. Yours, P. Tchaikovsky |
