{{centre|Многоуважаемый Степан Васильевич!}}&lt;br /&gt;
Я только что вернулся из Петербурга, где провёл праздники, и теперь должен немедленно приступить к сложной и спешной работе. Это обстоятельство заставляет меня несколько отдалить предположенную поездку в Москву. Я приеду в конце месяца, приблизительно около 25-го числа, и предварительно в точности сообщу Вам о дне и часе весьма мне улыбающегося посещения Синодального хора. Буду в высшей степени доволен прослушать предлагаемую Вами программу, — но желал бы кроме {{sic|его|неё}} и чего-нибудь из русской церковной музыки.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Великому князю, согласно обещанию, я написал: увидим, что из сего выйдет.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Итак, до свидания, многоуважаемый Степан Васильевич. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Искренно преданный и уважающий,&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|Вас, П. Чайковский}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|Translated text={{right|Town of [[Klin]]&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;5 April 1893}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{centre|Most respected [[Stepan Smolensky|Stepan Vasilyevich]]!}}&lt;br /&gt;
I have only just returned from [[Petersburg]], where I spent the holidays, and have now complex and urgent work to deal with immediately. This means that my intended planned trip to [[Moscow]] must be delayed a little. I will come at the end of the month, round about the 25th, and I shall inform you exactly of the date and time most convenient for me to visit the Synodal Choir &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. I shall be extremely happy to listen to your suggested programme, — but I should like it if there were also something from Russian church music.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In accordance with my promise, I have written to the Grand Duke; we shall see what will come of it &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so, until we meet, most respected [[Stepan Smolensky|Stepan Vasilyevich]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely devoted and respectful,&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|Yours, P. Tchaikovsky}}&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;In a letter of 29 March/10 April 1893, [[Smolensky]] had invited the composer to a concert of works by &amp;#039;old masters&amp;#039;, to be performed by students of the Synodal Choir.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Evidently the Grand Duke Sergey Aleksandrovich, who was a son of Tsar [[Alexander III]]. Tchaikovsky&amp;#039;s letter to the Grand Duke has not survived. See also [[Letter 4913a]] to [[Stepan Smolensky]], 11/23 April 1893, and Tamara Skivrskaya, {{bib|2003/78|Неизвестные письма Чайковского из фондов Российской национальной библиотеки}} (2003), p. 318-319.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
