<ref name="note3">Tchaikovsky came to [[Berlin]] in February 1889 as part of his second European conducting tour, where [[Désirée Artôt-Padilla]] was arranging a reception in the composer's honour. Perhaps mindful of Tchaikovsky's dislike of social engagements, she felt it was necessary to remind him of her invitation in a note which she left for him at his hotel: "My dear Friend, I have come to remind you that you promised to spend the evening with me tomorrow — as you requested, there will be very few people. {{...}} Let me know by just one word that you have not forgotten me and believe in all my sympathy, in my loyal friendship" (letter from [[Désirée Artôt-Padilla]] to Tchaikovsky, 10/22 February 1889 (see {{bib|1970/6|Чайковский и зарубежные музыканты}} (1970), p. 195).</ref><br />
