2 мая Душа моя!
Был вчера у Альбрехта. Само собой разумеется, что Дирекция приобретёт матерьял «Щелкунчика», как и «Иоланты». Ведь то и другое вместе будет рассматриваться как одна большая опера, и балет этот не подходит под обычные условия.

2 May My dear chap!
I was with Albrecht yesterday. Needless to say, the Directorate will acquire the materials for "The Nutcracker", just as with "Iolanta". Indeed, the pair taken together are being considered to constitute one grand opera, and the usual terms don't apply to the ballet itself. Albrecht promised to return the score immediately upon completion of the violin répétiteur [1]. Ferrari [2] is a conscientious man, by all accounts, but he must be rather inept [3]. After all, even a tailor needs to be an artist with thread. Until we meet! Yours, P. Tchaikovsky |
