Я говорил о Вашей сюите с &amp;#039;&amp;#039;М. П. Беляевым&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Он обнаружил полнейшую готовность издать её и чем скорее, тем лучше, дабы в будущем сезоне уже играли по печатным нотам. Беляев, весьма деликатным образом, дал мне понять, что хотя моей горячей рекомендации он вполне верит, но по обычаю без одобрения &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Р[имского]-Корсакова и Глазунова&amp;#039;&amp;#039; обойтись не может. Сим двум я тоже про сюиту говорил, и нет сомнения, что они её одобрят. Насчёт условий, т. е, гонорара, речи не было — я этих сторон дела терпеть не могу касаться, но Беляев, вообще, очень щедр. Тем не менее &amp;#039;&amp;#039;для начала&amp;#039;&amp;#039; советую Вам не дорожиться. Впоследствии, когда Вы повсюду прошумите, можно будет быть требовательным в денежном отношении.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Говорят, что Вы отправили сюиту в Америку? Неужели не копию, а самый манускрипт? Сделали ли Вы другой конец?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Если будете писать Беляеву, то адресуйте И. И. Юргенсону, Большая Морская, № 9, для передачи Митр[офану] Петр[овичу] Беляеву. А мне напишите два слова о том, как Вы решаетесь поступить.&lt;br /&gt;

{{centre|Dear [[Georgy Konyus|Georgy Eduardovich]]!}}&lt;br /&gt;
I spoke about your suite with &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[M. P. Belyayev]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. He finds that he is absolutely ready to publish it, and the sooner the better, so that it can be played next season from the printed notes. [[Belyayev]], in an extremely delicate way, gave me to understand that although he accepts my enthusiastic recommendation, this would not customarily proceed without the approval of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Rimsky-Korsakov]] and [[Glazunov]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Regarding terms, i.e. fees, nothing was said — I am loathe to involve myself in this aspect of business affairs, but [[Belyayev]] is generally very generous. Nevertheless, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;to start with&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I advise you not to ask too much. Subsequently, when you are a sensation everywhere, you can be more demanding in terms of money. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is said that you have sent your suite to America? Would this have been a copy or the manuscript itself? Did you do the other ending? &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you write to [[Belyayev]], then address it to [[Osip Jurgenson|I. I. Jurgenson]], Bolshaya Morskaya No. 9, to be forwarded to [[Mitrofan Petrovich Belyayev]] &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. And write me a couple of words about what you decide to do &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes and References==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;references&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The suite &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Scènes enfantines&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (Из детской жизни), Op. 1, by [[Georgy Konyus]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In a letter of 19 April/1 May 1893, [[Georgy Konyus]] replied that he had sent a copy of the score of the suite to America, and that acting on Tchaikovsky&amp;#039;s earlier advice he had indeed revised the final chorus.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In July 1893 [[Georgy Konyus|Konyus]] sent the score of the suite to [[Belyayev]], but it was turned down after objections by [[Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov]] and [[Aleksandr Glazunov]]. It was eventually published by [[Pyotr Jurgenson]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
