с[ело] Майданово 15 апр[еля] Паничка и Толя! Не сердитесь на меня, но я все ещё здесь. Оказалось, что если я не засяду и не кончу инструментовки ещё одного действия, то опера моя просто не поспеет к сроку. Поэтому я решился уехать только когда кончу ещё одно действие. Сижу целые дни. Но клянусь, что не позже конца месяца выезжаю. Если бы вы знали, как мне скорее хочется быть у Вас! Паничка, нанимай дачу как можно лучше и чтобы Пете-миле была просторная комната. Целую ручки Пани и щечки Толи. П. Чайковский |
Maydanovo village 15 April Panichka and Tolya! Don't be angry with me, but I'm still here. It turns out that if I don't sit down and finish the instrumentation of yet another act, then my opera simply won't be ready in time [1]. I've been stuck here for days. But I swear that I'll leave before the end of the month. If only you knew how much I wanted to be with you soon! Panichka, rent the best possible dacha, so that Petya-mille has a spacious room. I kiss Panya's hands and Tolya's cheeks. P. Tchaikovsky |
