Dear Mr Fou,

　　I received your most wonderful letter of Dec.28 this morning, as well as your letter of Sept. a long whileago....If you only know how and what I felt when

I read your letter and the three programs of Ts'ong's recitals!Words can hardly express my joy and deep admirationfor his success and achievements. I read and reread the letter for many times, and my heart was full of joy and pride for Ts'ong's astonishing success, as if all you wrote would have happened to my own son. I always know that talent plus hard work give amazing results, but in Ts'ong's case, the circumstances and special luck played a great role too. I sincerely hope that the coming contest in Feb.55 is going to be a brilliant start of Ts'ong's musical career, and further success will always accompany him on every step of his life. It is very hard to putsintoswords all I would like to say, especially not in one's own language, and within a limited period of time. I wish I could write you a long letter and share with you my innermost thoughts and feelings, but days are always so short for me, and there is always so much to do... .

　　……

　　It seems almost incredible to me when you say that Ts'ong does eight hours of practcing every day. I neverdid more than six a day, even in my best and most fruitful years. I sincerely hope this nervous strain he is going through will not in the least affect his physical health. Please tell him, that he should have hours of relaxation too. Besides, in more cases, the mental and nervous strain of a sensitive performer brought its sad and verytragic results, (in case of Horowitz and others).

　　I shall conclude my letter with my sincerest wish to Ts'ong of a great success in his big trial next month. As Feb.22 is Chopin's birthday (as well as mine!), I am positively sure, that Ts'ong will play in memory of this great soul as he never did before. Our good luck to him! All my thoughts will be with Ts'ong on that day.

　　[亲爱的傅先生,

　　今晨收到您十二月二十八日来信，跟好久以前九月份的来信一样，那么令人振奋。要是你能知道我在看那些信和聪的三份独奏会节目单时的感觉就好了。语言难以表达我对聪的成功和成就所感到的无比喜悦与钦佩。来信看了一遍又一遍，对聪的令人惊讶的成功，从心底里感到万分的高兴和自豪，你所写的似乎是发生在我儿子身上。我总认为天才加勤奋会产生难以置信的成绩，然而，就聪而论，机遇和特别好的运气也起了很重要的作用。我由衷的希望即将来临的五五年二月的比赛，将是聪音乐生涯的光辉开端，不断的成功将伴随着他生活的每一步。要在极有限时间内，尤其用的不是自己本国的语言，来说出我想说的话，那是很难很难的。但愿我能给你写一封长信，告诉你我内心深处的感受，但是时间对我来讲总是那么有限，而我又有那么多的事要去做。

　　…………

　　来信说聪一天要练八小时琴，对我来说，这简直不可思议。我练琴从来没有一天超过六小时的，就是在我足有成效的最佳时期，也是如此。聪将经受着神经的高度紧张，我衷心希望这对他的健康不会产生丝毫影响。请转告他，每天也应有数小时放松。此外，一个非常敏感的演奏家，由于神经的高度紧张而导至悲惨的结局，屡见不鲜，霍洛维兹和其他演奏家就是例证。

　　在结束此信时，我真诚祝愿聪在下个月重大的考验中取得巨大成功。鉴于二月二十二日是萧邦的生日(我也是)，我确信聪会怀着这颗伟大的心灵，演奏得比以往任何时候都精彩。祝他好运！那天我会全身心的与聪在一起。"

　　一九五五年一月十三日

　　这是最近Bronstein(勃隆斯丹)的来信，摘要抄给你。她这番热烈的情意和殷勤的关切，应当让你知道。等比赛完毕以后，无论如何寄一张签名的照片来，让我转给她，使她欢喜欢喜。

　　×此信原件无台头，父亲是在勃隆斯丹夫人英文信的打字副本下，接着写的信。勃隆斯丹夫人原是上海的一位钢琴教授，傅聪自昆明返沪后，曾跟她学琴一年，一九五二年离开中国后，一直定居于加拿大。--编者注
