Édouard Bergson
Tchaikovsky Research
Unknown correspondent in Warsaw, who wrote to Tchaikovsky on 28 January/9 February 1888 asking for an autograph. The composer replied three months later, apologising for the delay (after he mislaid Bergson's letter), and enclosing a six-bar extract from the overture-fantasia Romeo and Juliet. Bergson is also known to have sent Grieg a similar request at around the same time [1].
