Notes and References
- ↑ Antonín Dvořák had written to Tchaikovsky on 2/14 January 1889 with a response (in Czech) to his invitation to conduct in Russia, which Jurgenson was arranging for Jan Hřímalý to translate for him. Evidently a translation arrived shortly after this letter was written, as Tchaikovsky was able to reply to Dvořák later that same day (see Letter 3722).
