23 ноября 1890 Ты, должно быть, не разобрал фамилии того, кто переложил «Осеннюю песнь». Это не Тушман, а, вероятно, Тушмалов. Если да, то присылать на просмотр не нужно, ибо Тушмалова я знаю, хотя и не помню его переложения. Он превосходный музыкант. Если же ты не ошибся и перелагатель есть г. Тушман, то ограничься показанием 3илоти рукописи. Твой, П. Ч. |
23 November 1890 You must have misread the surname of the arranger of "Autumn Song" [1]. This is not Tushman, but probably Tushmalov [2]. If so, then you don't need to send it for me to review, because I know Tushmalov, although I don't recall his arrangement. He is an excellent musician. If you were not mistaken and the arranger is Mr Tushman, then content yourself with showing the manuscript to Ziloti [3]. Yours, P. T. |
