Пятница 8 окт[ября] [1876] Добрейший Андроник Михайлович
Сейчас я узнал, что мой 3-й квартет назначен на 19-е число; следовательно, голоса д[олжны] б[ыть] в распоряжении гг. Ауэра, Давыдова и пр[очих], по крайней мере, в среду 13-го. Между тем я делаю в настоящее время корректуру и вполне готовы голоса будут только к концу будущей недели. Поэтому попросите пожалуйста, чтобы квартет мой назначили вместо 19-го, 26-го числа! Писанные голоса так измараны, что посылать невозможно. Пожалуйста, ответьте мне 2 слова и тотчас же. Искренне уважающий Вас, П. Чайковский |
Friday 8 October 1876 Most kind Andronik Mikhaylovich!
I have just learned that my 3rd quartet is scheduled for the 19th inst; accordingly, the parts must be available to Messrs Auer, Davydov and others, by Wednesday 13th at the latest. Meanwhile, I am presently occupied with proof reading and the voices will only be entirely ready by the end of next week. Therefore, I ask you to please schedule my quartet for the 26th instead of the 19th! The copied-out parts are so worn that it's impossible to send them. Please, reply to me in a couple of words right away. Your sincerely respectful, P. Tchaikovsky |
