Пётр Иванович!
Г. Паук[н]ер желал бы напечатать свои сочинени[я] у тебя. Я их вним[а]тельно рассмотрел. Они очень музыкальн[ы], но, разумеется, не все одинакового достоинст[ва]. Лучшие из них: Lystky z pamiatniki[a].
Они положительно очень хорошенькие. И я весьм[а] тебе советую их напечатать. Твой, П. Чайковский |
Mr Paukner would like you to print his compositions. I have carefully reviewed them. They are very musical but, of course, not all first rate. The best of them is: Lystky z pamiatnika.
They are certainly very decent, and I strongly advise you to print them [1]. Yours, P. Tchaikovsky |
Notes and References
- ↑ The six pieces for piano entitled Pages from a Memory Book (Листки из памятной книжки) by the Czech composer Josef Paukner (1847-1896) were published by Pyotr Jurgenson in November 1876, apparently as a result of Tchaikovsky's recommendation.
