Саша! Получил ли ты ''моё письмо'' по поводу фортепьянных концертов и самые концерты? Отчего ты не отвечаешь, — я беспокоюсь. Спасибо за печальное уведомление о смерти Д. В. Разумовского. На похороны я бы сильно опоздал, но мог бы приехать; однако ж по зрелом размышлении решил не ехать. Богу известно, что я очень любил Д[митрия] В[асильевич], и если не почтил погребение его своим присутствием, то были на то многие причины.

Итак, ответствуй!

[[Aleksandr Ziloti|Sasha]]! Have you received ''my letter'' <ref name="note1"/> concerning the piano concerto and your concerts? Why haven't you answered? — I'm worried <ref name="note2"/>. Thank you for the sorrowful news about the death of [[Dmitry Razumovsky|D. V. Razumovsky]] <ref name="note3"/>. I would have been very late for the funeral, but could still have come; however, after mulling it over I decided not to go. God knows how very much I loved [[Dmitry Razumovsky|Dmitry Vasilyevich]], and there were numerous reasons why I didn't grace his burial with my presence.

So then, do answer me!
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}

<ref name="note1">[[Letter 3751]] to [[Aleksandr Ziloti]], 27 December 1888/8 January 1889, concerning possible revisions to Tchaikovsky's first two piano concertos.</ref>
<ref name="note2">[[Ziloti]] had replied on 1/13 January to Tchaikovsky's letter, but evidently this had not yet reached the composer. His response was published in full in {{bibx|1963/33|Александр Ильич Зилоти, 1863–1945. Воспоминания и письма}} (1963), p. 91-92.</ref>
<ref name="note3">[[Dmitry Razumovsky]] was a priest and professor of church history at the [[Moscow]] Conservatory, as well as an old friend of Tchaikovsky's. He had also officiated at the composer's marriage to [[Antonina Milyukova]] in 1877.</ref>
