Добрейший
Адольф Бродскович! Юргенсон и я очень просим Вас пожаловать к Юргенсону, завтра (в четверг в 8 часов вечера). Нам хотелось бы сыграть мой 2-ой квартет по новым печатным партиям, чтобы убедиться, что нет более ошибок. Не откажите, голубчик, помочь в этом деле. Вам преданный, П. Чайковский |
Jurgenson and I would very much like you to come to Jurgenson's tomorrow (Thursday at 8 o'clock in the evening). We should like you to play my 2nd quartet from the new printed parts to establish that there are no more mistakes [2]. Do not refuse, golubchik, to assist in this matter. Your devoted, P. Tchaikovsky |
Notes and References
- ↑ The 'Russification' of the violinist's surname as a patronymic was a humorous play on words by Tchaikovsky.
- ↑ The printed parts of Tchaikovsky's String Quartet No. 2 were issued by Jurgenson in October 1875, and so this letter presumably dates from around that time.
