I do like the latter at all, and it does not bear comparison with the Symphonie espagnole. The suites are very lovely though; written without pretension, but sweet and elegant, although like all modern Germans, there is little freshness. Speaking of freshness in music, may I recommend to you the orchestral suite &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;L&amp;#039;Arlésienne&amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; by the late &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Bizet]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. I heard it in [[Petersburg]]. It is a masterpiece of sorts. If I am not mistaken, it has been published for 4 hands.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Друг мой, пришлите мне, пожалуйста, черновую рукопись «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Онегина&amp;#039;&amp;#039;», — мне хочется привести её в порядок.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Я все забываю ответить Вам насчёт &amp;#039;&amp;#039;фруктов&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Мне подают их очень аккуратно и в большом изобилии. Вообще &amp;#039;&amp;#039;кормление&amp;#039;&amp;#039; превосходное, и если есть недостаток, так это излишнее количество кушаний.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Вчера вечером я много занимался музыкой, т. е. просмотрел обе сюиты Риса и концерт &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Lalo&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Последний мне вовсе не нравится и не идёт в сравнение с Symphonie espagnole. Сюиты же очень милы; написаны без претензий, но мило, изящно, хотя, как у всех современных немцев, — мало свежести. Кстати о свежести в музыке. Рекомендую Вам оркестровую сюиту покойного &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Bizet «L&amp;#039;Arlésienne»&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Я слышал её в Петербурге. Это в своём роде chef-d&amp;#039;oeuvre. Если не ошибаюсь, она издана в 4 руки. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Имеете ли Вы понятие о «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Roi de Lahore&amp;#039;&amp;#039;» Massenet?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Дождь лил весь вечер, и я уже не наслаждался ночной свежестью на балконе, как накануне.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
До свиданья, милый друг мой.&lt;br /&gt;
{{right|Ваш, П. Чайковский}}&lt;br /&gt;
Я уже кончил 4-ый номер сюиты и принимаюсь за пятый.&lt;br /&gt;
