A revoir soon,—and always
Your affectionately devoted

Budapest, November 29th, 1876
Be so kind as to give my most cordial regards to Monsieur and
Madame Bosendorfer.
204. To Otto Reubke at Halle-on-the-Saale
[Now Music Director at the University there]
Dear Herr Reubke,
Your Arrangement [of Schubert's B minor duet for pianoforte alone] pleases me uncommonly. I beg you to notice the alterations I have made on the accompanying sheet of music-paper. This version is not quite so much like the original as yours, but, as the great thing is to bring out a fortissimo, we may well allow inaccuracies of this kind in favor of the performer and of effect.
You are requested to add to your excellent Arrangement of the
Schubert Rondo much pedal and some fingering,
