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.

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.
