Москва 16 февр[аля 18]93 г[ода] Многоуважаемый Владимир Васильевич!
Вдова Лауба имеет от Листа одно письмо (т. е. адресованное её покойному мужу). Письмо это Вы на днях получите. Она говорит, что могла бы многое порассказать о Листе, и готова, если пожелают, привести воспоминания свои в порядок. Если составители биографии того пожелают, то не угодно ли ей написать. Адрес ее: И. В. Гржимали, консерватория, Москва, для передачи А. Ф. Лауб. Искренно преданный, П. Чайковс[кий] |
Moscow 16 February 1893 Much esteemed Vladimir Vasilyevich!
Laub's widow has one letter from Liszt (i.e. addressed to her late husband) [1]. This is the letter you recently received. She says that she has many anecdotes about Liszt and is prepared, if you wish, to set down her reminiscences in order. If the compilers of the biography so desire they should feel free to write to her. Her address is: J. V. Hřímalý, the Conservatory, Moscow, for transmission to A. F. Laub. Sincerely devoted, P. Tchaikovsky |
