Вчера кончил черновые эскизы балета вполне. Я тебе говорил, что кончу их в 5 дней, а проработал 2 недели. Чувствую, что музыка этого балета будет куда хуже «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Сп[ящей] кр[асавицы]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;». Но зато я приналягу теперь на «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Иоланду&amp;#039;&amp;#039;». Дня два посвящу корректурам, а 28-го удеру от именин в Петербург. Дня три пробуду там и, вернувшись, примусь за «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Иоланду&amp;#039;&amp;#039;». Сочиняя балет, я замечал в себе упадок вдохновения. Если то же будет с оперой, брошу писать. Радуюсь, что твоя работа идёт хорошо, но мало сочувствую &amp;#039;&amp;#039;салонной&amp;#039;&amp;#039; цели твоей новой пиэсы. Из Петербурга напишу тебе. Я как &amp;#039;&amp;#039;гимназист&amp;#039;&amp;#039; радуюсь этой поездке. Устал от балета &amp;#039;&amp;#039;очень, очень&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Стар становлюсь. А впрочем, совершенно здоров.&lt;br /&gt;

Yesterday I finished the rough sketches of the entire ballet &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;. I said to you that I would finish it in 5 days, but I worked for 2 weeks. I feel that the music for this ballet will be inferior to &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Sleeping Beauty]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;. On the other hand I&amp;#039;ll now be tackling &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Iolanta|Yolande]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;. I&amp;#039;ll dedicate two days to proofreading, and on the 28th I&amp;#039;ll be escaping from my nameday to [[Petersburg]]. I&amp;#039;ll be staying there for three days, then returning to take up &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Iolanta|Yolande]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;. While composing the ballet, I noticed my inspiration was tailing off. If the same thing happens with the opera, I&amp;#039;ll give up writing.  I&amp;#039;m glad that your work is going well, but I have little sympathy for the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;salon&amp;#039;&amp;#039; conception of your new play. I&amp;#039;ll be writing to you from [[Petersburg]]. I&amp;#039;m as giddy as a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;schoolboy&amp;#039;&amp;#039; about this trip. I&amp;#039;m &amp;#039;&amp;#039;very, very&amp;#039;&amp;#039; weary from the ballet. I&amp;#039;m growing old. However, I&amp;#039;m completely well.&lt;br /&gt;
