Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů absolutely agrees with the addressee’s opinion of the female choruses [CZECH RHYMES], after all, he has made similar observations himself. As regards the SONATA No. 2, he will wait until the global situation has improved. He insists that the violin part is also suitable for amateurs. Perhaps the Schott will reassess his decision and take the sonata immediately.
When it comes to the PARTITA, he is very satisfied. If it does not exceed the addressee’s possibilities, he would like to ask for 2,000 francs. He is actually working on a film music [MELO? or MARIJKA THE UNFAITHFUL?]. He is expecting the score of the CONCERTO FOR VLC AND ORCH.; he will inform them of the date for Mr. Walter Straram soon.
