Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů has spoken with Mr. Pierre Fournier, who informed him of the addressee’s intention to publish the CONCERTO FOR VLC AND ORCH. NO. 1. BM is very pleased, but would like to rewrite the concerto’s instrumentation – it is extremely difficult for the orchestra, which is a factor that can be inconvenient for possible performing. It is necessary that the work can also be accompanied by an ordinary orchestra, without soloists and chamber music players. A new work – the DOUBLE CONCERTO; the orchestra is divided into two sections, with piano and timpani. Paul Sacher will give the premiere in the next season in Basel.
