23 апр[еля] Я дирижировал ариозо по театральному клавираусцугу, и никакой партитуры не было. Это могут засвидетельствовать Вурм, Христофорова, Панаева и множество лиц. Оркестровые голоса я дал певице Сионицкой. Необходимо переписать ещё, ибо на меня надеяться нельзя—у меня положительно нет партитуры. П. Чайковский Панаева в Петербурге. Адресовать ей можно в Мар[иинский] театр. |
23 April I conducted the arioso from the theatre's piano reduction, and there was no full score [1]. Wurm [2], Khristoforov [3], Panayeva and any number of people can attest to this. I gave the orchestral parts to the singer Sionitskaya [4]. If it's necessary to copy out another, then I couldn't be expected to do that—I certainly don't have the full score. P. Tchaikovsky Panayeva is in Petersburg. She can be addressed via the Mariinsky Theatre. |
