Ник[олай] Гр[игорьевич] Рубинштейн сообщил мне, что Вы предполагаете в одном из концертов Муз[ыкального] общ[ества] исполнить мою увертюру к «''Ромео и Джульетта''». Позвальте Вас поблагодарить за эту любезность; я давно желал, чтобы эта сочинение была сыграна в Петербурге.

Что касается до опечаток в партитуре, о которых Вы говорили, то при самом тщательном рассмотрении партитуры я нашел их немного.

На странице 9-ой в партии арфы в 1-ом такте вместо сексты:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex1.jpg|70px]] нужен аккорд [[File:0238 ex2.jpg|70px]]}}

На стр[анице] 10-ой в арфе же, вместо аккорда:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex3.jpg|70px]] в третьем такте нужен аккорд [[File:0238 ex4.jpg|70px]]}}

На стр[анице] 19-ой в 3-ем такте вместо:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex5.jpg|80px]] нужно [[File:0238 ex6.jpg|70px]]}}

На стр[анице] 31-ой в последнем такте в басах и виолончелях не поставлены ''бекары'' у ноты C; нужно так:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex7.jpg|120px]]}}

На стр[анице] 46-ой в 1-ых скрипках в первом такте, вместо первой ноты:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex8.jpg|70px]] нужно нота [[File:0238 ex9.jpg|70px]]}}

На стр[анице] 94 в партию валторн попалась во 2-ом такте совершенно лишняя нота:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex10.jpg|70px]]}}

На стр[анице] 108 в первом такте не поставлено необходимое в этом случае слово ''unis.'' в партиях 1-ой и 2-ой скрипки и у альтов. Нужно так:
[[File:0238 ex11.jpg|200px|center]]

На стр[анице] 121-ой в первом такте у 2-го тромбона вместо первой ноты:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex12.jpg|70px]] нужно нота [[File:0238 ex13.jpg|70px]]}}

На стр[анице] 138-ой в 3-ем такте у виолончелей вместо:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex14.jpg|80px]] нужно [[File:0238 ex15.jpg|80px]]}}

На стр[анице] 141-ой в партии флейт в 3-ем такте вместо:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex16.jpg|80px]] нужно [[File:0238 ex17.jpg|80px]]}}

На стр[анице] 147 в 1-ом такте у фаготов вместо:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex18.jpg|80px]] нужно [[File:0238 ex19.jpg|80px]]}}

На стр[анице] 192 в 2-ом такте у альтов вместо:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex20.jpg|70px]] нужно [[File:0238 ex21.jpg|70px]]}}

Вот все ошибки, которые я нашел в партитуре. Быть может, найдётся ещё какая-нибудь незначительная опечатка, легко могущая быть исправленной на репетиции.

С истинным почтением имею честь быть преданный Вам слуга.

[[Nikolay Rubinstein|Nikolay Grigoryevich Rubinstein]] informed me that you expect to peform my overture to "''[[Romeo and Juliet]]''" at one of the Musical Society concerts. Allow me to thank you for this courtesy; I have long hoped that this work would be played in [[Petersburg]].

As for the printing errors in the full score, about which you spoke, on a thorough examination of the score I found a few.

On the 9th page in the 1st bar of the harp bar instead of the sixth:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex1.jpg|70px]] there should be the chord [[File:0238 ex2.jpg|70px]]}}

On the 10th page, also in the harp, instead of the chord:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex3.jpg|70px]] in the third bar, there should be [[File:0238 ex4.jpg|70px]]}}

On the 19th page, 3rd bar, instead of:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex5.jpg|80px]] there should be [[File:0238 ex6.jpg|70px]]}}

On the 31st page in the last bar the basses and cellos should not play C ''naturals'', but rather:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex7.jpg|120px]]}}

On the 46th page the 1st violins, 1st bar, instead of the first note:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex8.jpg|70px]] there should be the note [[File:0238 ex9.jpg|70px]]}}

On page 94 in the horn part there is a completely redundant note in the 2nd bar:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex10.jpg|70px]]}}

On page 108 in the first bar the word ''unis.'' is not placed accurately in the parts for 1st and 2nd violins and the violas. It should be:
[[File:0238 ex11.jpg|200px|center]]

On the 121st page, in the first bar the 2nd trombones instead of the first note:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex12.jpg|70px]] they should have this note [[File:0238 ex13.jpg|70px]]}}

On the 138th page, in the cello's 3rd bar instead of:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex14.jpg|80px]] there should be [[File:0238 ex15.jpg|80px]]}}

On the 141st page, in the flute part, 3rd bar, instead of:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex16.jpg|80px]] there should be [[File:0238 ex17.jpg|80px]]}}

On page 147 in the 1st bar of the bassoons, instead of:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex18.jpg|80px]] there should be [[File:0238 ex19.jpg|80px]]}}

On page 192 in the 2nd bar, where the violas have:
{{centre|[[File:0238 ex20.jpg|70px]] there should be [[File:0238 ex21.jpg|70px]]}}

These are all the mistakes which I found in the full score. Perhaps any further minor typographical errors might be easily corrected at rehearsal.

With sincere respect I have the honour to be your faithful servant.
