18 окт[ября] Друг Георгий!
Позаботьтесь, чтобы по возможности немедленно в Петербург, в консерваторию, были посланы хоровые голоса финала сюиты. Директор Иогансен ужасно заинтересован этим детским хором и желал бы поскорее им заняться. Обнимаю, П. Чайковский |
18 October Dear Georgy!
Could you ensure without delay that the choral parts for the finale of the suite [1] are sent to the conservatory in Petersburg. The director, Johansen [2], is terribly interested in this children's chorus, and should like to do it as quickly as possible. I hug you, P. Tchaikovsky |
