Весьма важно, чтобы она дошло до Кюи сегодня же.<br /> <br /> Я ездил в Киев и видел там «&#039;&#039;Опричника&#039;&#039;». Исполнение &#039;&#039;великолепное&#039;&#039;. Опера имела успех: по крайней мере шумели ужасно и овации были самые лестные, каких я никогда и не ожидал. Огромная толпа студентов провожала меня от театра до гостиницы. Я был вполне счастлив.<br /> <br /> У меня к тебе просьба. Пришли мне пьесу &#039;&#039;Щербачева&#039;&#039;: Стасов писал мне, что это какой-то изумительный &#039;&#039;chef d&#039;oeuvre&#039;&#039;.<br /> {{right|Твой, П.

The performance was &#039;&#039;magnificent&#039;&#039;. The opera was successful: at least, they made an awful racket and the applause was most flattering, which I had not anticipated. An enormous mob of students escorted me from the theatre to the hotel. I was in high spirits.<br /> <br /> I have a request for you. Send me &#039;&#039;Shcherbachev&#039;&#039;{{&#039;}}s piece: [[Stasov]] wrote to me that this was an astonishing &#039;&#039;chef d&#039;oeuvre&#039;&#039;.<br /> {{right|Yours, P.
