24 сент[ября 18]93

Маничка! Извольте сами похлопотать о пианистах для «Kармозины». Я думаю, Лавров и Блуменфельд не откажутся.

У Вас должны находиться ботинки (штиблеты), оставленные мной при отъезде за границу. Скажите Аннушке, чтобы сохранила их до моего приезда.

Ващ, П. Чайковский

24 September 1893

Manichka! Please see about the pianists about Carmosine. Lavrov and Blumenfeld will not refuse, I think [1].

You ought to have found the shoes (boots) that I left behind when I went abroad. Ask Anushka to look after them until I arrive.

Yours, P. Tchaikovsky

Notes and References

  1. Herman Laroche's overture Carmosine (Кармозина) included parts for two pianists, which Tchaikovsky hoped would be performed by Nikolay Lavrov and Feliks Blumenfeld.
