| Паничка! Я совсем сумасшедший, — и позабыл, что у меня сегодня оркестровая репетиция «Онегина»!!! Начнётся в 11 часов и кончится в 4!!! Итак, посещение выставки и Генке откладывается. Целую ручки. Завтра увидимся.
Твой, П. Чайковский |
Panichka! I'm absolutely frantic — I'd forgotten that I have an orchestral rehearsal for "Onegin" today!!! It starts at 11 o'clock and finishes at 4!!! And so the visit to the exhibition with Genke is postponed. I kiss your hands. See you tomorrow.
Yours, P. Tchaikovsky |
