{{centre|Most respected [[Stepan Smolensky|Stepan Vasilyevich]]!}}<br />
I am returning herewith the notebook containing the contrapuntal works by ''A. Petrov'', which I have looked through with great pleasure. Praise and honour to you and [[Vasily Orlov|Vasily Sergeyevich]]! Yesterday's visit to you left me with a most gratifying impression!<ref name="note1"/><br />
<br />
Until we see each other soon!<br />

==Notes and References==<br />
<references><br />
<ref name="note1">The previous day Tchaikovsky had visited the Synodal School where he listened to a concert by the school orchestra. These may have included a work by "A. Petrov", who seems to have been a student whose compositions were written in the notebook that Tchaikovsky took away to study. Nothing more is known about A. Petrov.</ref><br />
